Singapore Defence Tech Hackathon Winner (48hr Challenge) Wayne Lin, NeuroMech

Key Points:

  • Hands-free control of unmanned ground vehicles could change how operators manage systems in situations where their hands and attention are needed elsewhere
  • Brain-computer interfaces are notoriously difficult to make reliable, and rapid prototyping under hackathon pressure exposes those weaknesses fast
  • A working prototype is only the first step — the real question is whether a hackathon project can become a viable company
  • Prize funding is being used to push NeuroMech beyond a demo and toward a serious product
