I build robotics that make kids sharper, stronger, and more resilient. From a sports robot to an electric buggy to a companion robot using AI and biometrics to help teens manage anxiety, I’m passionate about turning creative ideas into real-world solutions.

Zuzi: the emotional support robot

I read that nearly 1 in 3 Singaporean youths (15-35 years) experience mental health symptoms (depression, anxiety, stress) so I decided to make a robot called Zuzi that relieves this stress through breath work.

I started the project as a robotics researcher at the National University of Singapore where I’m supervised by Professor Dean Ho (Chair of the Biomedical Engineering Department).

I am designing a desktop robot that will guide youth through breathwork exercises to reduce stress.

Users will place their hands on the robot and using biometric feedback based on sensors placed on the body of the robot, the user will be guided in personalized breath work sessions powered by AI.

Z-FoRCE: THE ELECTRIC BUGGY

I set out to build a life-size electric car that I called the Z-Force Buggy. Rather than use a kit, I built it from scratch with the help of my coaches, procuring all the parts and assembling them at home during the Covid lockdown. It took me over a year to build it and really enjoyed taking it for a spin in front of my house.

Z1: ROadster

Move over F1 – it's time for the Z1 Roadster! I designed and 3D printed all the parts, working on several different versions with varying lengths and placement of the batteries. This zippy speed demon has an ultra low wheelbase and insane acceleration. Watch it cling to the walls at the skate park!

Z-FoRCE One: RC Planes

I’ve experimented with dozens of remote-controlled planes made of cardboard, foam and other materials, powered by propellers and other engines. Getting the weight balance just right is always tricky. Check out this video covering two years of my airplanes, including wicked fast fighter jets!

Z-Vehicles: Vehicular Warfare

Why let Lego cars just sit around when you can convert them into stealth electric r/c cars? Under the hood, I inserted receivers, sawed axles and added steering. They started going so fast I had to control the drifting! Then there was my insane Cybertruck, attack drones with sensors, hovercraft with gyroscopes, and finally the ultra-might fan-propulsion trolley! Truly fast and furious!

Arro: THE friendly robot that delivers water TO SOCCER kids

In 2018, I started building Arro, a friendly sports robot that delivers water and snacks to kids during practices and games. It makes it easy and fun for active kids to get the nutrition they need to stay healthy and fit. Arro features a range of voice and motion sensors. When a coach or player shouts "Arro!" it brings players their refreshing water and healthy snacks.
