My Design Portfolio.
Featuring accessibility products, robotics concepts, assistive devices, and mechanical designs.
I AM . . .
Bora Chen, a hardware-focused product designer and builder. My work spans CAD, 3D printing, mechanical systems, accessibility products, robotics, and mountain-bike engineering. I love designing solutions to problems around me :)
I MADE . . .
Accessible Electric Water Bottle
An electric bottle-kettle hybrid that reduces scalding risk for visually impaired users through tactile temperature feedback, a 360° drinking/pouring outlet, anti-slip body, and a magnetic heating base.
Magic Cart
A compact electric robot that autonomously pulls mountain bikes uphill along preset trails, designed around rider fatigue, steep terrain, mud, suspension, steering, towing, and sensor modules.
Smart Cane
A cane concept that detects abnormal gait and balance patterns using load cells, compares real-time walking data against personal baselines, and alerts family or caregivers before invisible warning signs are missed.
Key Robot
A voice-activated retrofit robot that physically presses ordinary buttons, turning existing lights, panels, and recessed switches into smart controls without replacing infrastructure.
Geardget
A planetary gear fidget toy using one sun gear, four planet gears, a ring gear, and double-helical teeth to constrain sideways movement after 30+ iterations of pressure angle, helix angle, and meshing calculations.
Let’s build something physical.
