Side-by-side photos of RIT students and activities with the text See How RIT is Advancing the Exceptional underneath.

The goal of this senior design project is to demonstrate the Voice-Activated Robotic Dental Assistant (VARDA) prototype that delivers a sterile instrument to a dental hygienist on voice command. Visitors will be able to request a tool from VARDA using a voice command and be amazed as VARDA delivers the tool to them! This project will be an exciting demonstration of engineering and a glimpse into the future of dentistry.
