For EPFL and Sony, this partnership is about empowering students to get hands-on with technology that makes a difference. From health monitoring to gesture-based drone control, these projects offer the tools, mentorship, and platform for students to push their skills and explore the possibilities of IoT.

This new phase aims to create even more dependable systems for prosthetics, rehabilitation, virtual devices, and augmented reality. Additionally, SFSU is integrating the Spresense technology into courses and capstone projects such as the “On-Device Machine Learning” course.

This year, 17 students formed 7 teams, resulting in an engaging competition among three outstanding finalists: MiHand from The University of Liverpool, Hozonsuru from ETH Zurich, and BreathKnow, also from The University of Liverpool.
