Project Title: Robotic Arm With Force And Temperature Sensing
Required EE Area(s) of Expertise: Micro and Nano Scale Systems
Brief Project Description: Combine a robotic arm with Sensors in order to control motion or grasper, limit force applied, and detect the temperature of items in the grasp of the robotic arm. It May be combined with software techniques for analyzing the data collected and responding with programmed patterns based on changes in temperature or force
Major system products expected from this project: Application Software (iOS/Android) Robotic Arm Sensors Chosen
Parts of the project that “Engineering Design” is expected (e.g., mathematical calculations and/or verification simulations): Software design Robotic Arm Sensors Chosen
The level of support (Time: technical guidance, materials, computing, financial, etc.) for the project. If no financial support will be provided, please offer an estimate of the Materials Cost: Estimated mentoring time: 2 hours per week Estimated materials: Sensors, microcontroller, robotic arm Estimated budget: $3k to $6k depending on whether or not an existing robot may be available.
