The 暗网吃瓜鈥檚 Hajim School of Engineering & Applied Sciences hosts its annual Senior Design Day for teams of graduating students in engineering, computer science, and data science鈥攁s well as in the medical device design master鈥檚 program鈥攖o showcase their capstone projects. This year, more than 90 projects were on display, including a 鈥渟pine diary鈥� to alert you if your posture will lead to neck pain, a fun and friendly way to transport young patients at Golisano Children鈥檚 Hospital, and a nine-foot-long Jaekelopterus replica set to hang in Hutchison Hall.
ARM ALARM: Simon Business School student Nate Fleischman (left) tests Lindsey Rudtner and Priscila Passerotti鈥檚 intraoperative nerve monitoring system. The聽device detects and prevents peripheral nerve damage during surgery and simplifies operating room procedures.
THEY SEE ME ROLLIN鈥�: Ali Mganga (left) of mechanical engineering and Alexander Kleerup (right) of electrical and computer engineering describe their interdepartmental team鈥檚 novel movement robot to Jessica Shang, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering, who is kneeling next to the protoype. NASA brainstorms ideas for potential rovers on other planets because each planet has a unique terrain. Previously, rolling robots manipulated their center of mass to invoke rolling motion. But the team has designed and manufactured a robot that deploys linear actuators to invoke a rolling motion to navigate flat environments.
SIGNED, SEALED, DELIVERED: Thang C Le (right) demonstrates his team鈥檚 autonomously controlled robot, which combines several sensors and modules to safely navigate buildings on campus as it聽delivers packages.
