CATCH
Client: CHINA
Year: 2016
General background
Catch is a mosquito catcher that is placed at home. It is based on simple and quiet catching technology. The source of light pulls the mosquitoes to the center of the cylinder and there is a suction tool at the bottom of the cylinder that draws the mosquitoes downwards into the closed cylinder. The suction of the mosquitoes provides a calm and quiet environment, free of mosquito bites.

Design process
The challenge: the client was looking to convert a simple generic Chinese product into something homely that incorporates seamlessly into living area environments.
My inspiration arrived mainly from ancient Chinese architecture.
Form development
As a medical robot, Vitreous Robotallows for transatlantic and transnational retinal surgery. It allows professional Retinal surgeons to perform operations with a remote console from anywhere in the world, for patients located in places that lack expertise in retinal surgery. The robot has two consoles – one located where the surgeon is and the other where the patient resides. The surgeon can work from his console wherever he wants. The robotic arms perform every movement initiated by the surgeon through his console minimally and accurately. This gives an even higher level of precision in eye surgery, allowing for more complex retinal operations.

Innovation
The innovative Vitreous Robotcreates a new solution and a new consciousness, socially and technologically. Through appropriate research and development, the future of medical device sees a Vitreous Robot in every hospital around the world, where each robot can be connected to the homes of any Retinal surgeon.
