![]() By communicating with a sensor on the outside of the wing, a camera can be used to track and view the same location internal to the wing, without direct viewing access. The application for this is for airplane wing manufacturing and inspection. This project was part of ME495 (Mechatronics) Capstone Design Projects, SPRING 2015.ĭayu Ye, Theodore Bridgeman, Sergiy Taylakov and Bryan Womack designed and crafted a device that can track an object without direct visibility by using an ultrasonic sensor. The item detection was accomplished with an infrared sensor, and the robot sweeps the shelf with an extendable arm with a rotating paddle. This robot is capable of scanning a row of separated shelves, and emptying contents it finds into a bin. They won the Best Project in Mechatronics Capstone 2015 (Second Prize).ĭavid Foudls, Kalsi Kwan, Tysen Mulder, and Ryan Scuderi built a robot aimed at the Amazon Picking Challenge. This project was part of ME495 (Mechatronics) Capstone Design Projects, SPRING 2015. This device was made and designed with inexpensive open source hardware and software, making DIY finger rehabilitation a reality. Finger angle was measured using a bend sensor. They won the Best Project in Mechatronics Capstone 2015 (First Prize).ĭuncan Drummond, Pei Jei, and Ziyi Feng build a glove retrofitted with a soft actuator in order to bend a finger in a controlled manner. This type of device is useful in applications such as robotic assisted manufacturing, working in hazardous or dangerous environments, and remote telepresence. This device included force feedback, allowing the user to “feel” the item in the remote device.

This project was part of ME495 (Mechatronics) Capstone Design Projects through theĭesigned, built and evaluated a test rig that is capable of evaluating the force-displacement curves for many different types of switches used in PACCAR truck fleet. ![]() A secondary goal was to design and implement a vision-based system to inspect the final bend angle. A two-part solution was developed: an image verification system (IBVS) as a final check to verify all decals are accounted for before units leave the plant, and a decal vending machine (DVM) to ensure that the technicians received the correct decals and correct quantity of decals to place on the units.Ĭhristopher Woodruff, Lukas Wavrin, Cathy Lee, Nikolai Warner and Andrew Wuĭesigned, built and evaluated a rotary draw bender that is capable of automatically bending tubing to with a high precision in the achieved bend angle. A passive robotic gripper with linear stiffness-force relationship was developed using only one actuator.Īimed to reduce mistakes in decal placement at Genie Industries. The gripper was be able to grip fragile objects (low force, low stiffness) as well as denser, heavier objects (high force, high stiffness). This project was part of ME495 (Mechatronics) Capstone Design Projects, SPRING 2019.Ī variable impedance robotic gripper that increases While maintaining the desired position was implemented. Series elastic actuators (SEAs) and impedance control, a compliant robot that can control the force ineractions Systems imposes danger, as any disturbance will only increase end effector force. Contacting the surroundings with typical position-controlled Due to the high stiffness, limitingĪnd controlling force output is difficult. Maximum actuator torques will be utilized to move between positions. Typical robots employ position or velocity control which results in a high stiffness output robot where This project was part of ME495 (Mechatronics) Capstone Design Projects,ĭesigned an impedance controller for robot interactions. In doing so, the test rig must also be able to match human performance metrics. The operator of the test rig can provide it with a set of screen coordinates that represent a desired path for the robot’s gaze, along with information about the timing and speed of the desired gaze motion, and the test rig should respond appropriately. ‘test rig’ for testing new eye trackers, that accurately projects its gaze onto a specified point on a screen. ![]() With help from Microsoft, developed a humanoid Connor Hughes, Kaiyu Shi, Karli Berger, Khrisna Kamarga, Kyle Schultz and Willie Shih
