Mawuena Komla Ackotia and Levi Soudi, members of the group that participated in the innovation, said the automated toolbox can operate on a BlueTooth connection that enables its mobility.

“We decided to develop this to ensure that whenever we are working in the lab, whichever tools we use can be kept properly and accounted for. Our goal is to make many more of these tool boxes so that we can prevent overcrowding of equipment in the lab,” they said.

He explained that the automated kennel can allow for efficient feeding and rearing of pets and other domestic animals.
