We don't usually give much thought to good old trusty kitchen sinks. And perhaps that's why there hasn't been much change in their design in the last century or so. Only notable additions to our kitchen counter include mixing taps and better handles. So in the 21st century where even beds have become an IoT device now, it wouldn't be a farfetched bet to say there's a lot of room for improvement in kitchen sinks.And that's probably how the computer engineering and robotics Ph.D. student Jake Ammons got the idea to develop a robotic sink faucet for his graduate-level course on Architectural Robotics at Clemson University.
