Current solutions for boxing training at home do not provide adequate realism. To address these issues, we have developed an intelligent boxing robot that is capable of responding to movements and able to read and react to a user&#8217;s actions to enable a progressive and personalised journey towards proficiency in boxing for users.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/cde.nus.edu.sg\/edic\/projects\/innovating-for-smarter-living\/crystal-clear\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cde.nus.edu.sg\/edic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/03\/IS-301-prototype.jpg\" alt=\"Prototype of Eclat in action\" height=\"1115\" width=\"1680\" title=\"IS-301-prototype\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n<h2>\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/cde.nus.edu.sg\/edic\/projects\/innovating-for-smarter-living\/crystal-clear\/\" title=\"Crystal Clear\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\tCrystal Clear\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/h2>\n\t<p>The cleaning of wine glasses is a tedious and cumbersome process that often results in damage and hard water stains.\u00a0To overcome these problems, we have designed a counter-top machine, Eclat, that can autonomously wash and then polish premium wine glasses without breaking them.
