Robotic Arm

In my robotics team, I learn all about programming in languages such as Java and C and the engineering design process. I am given the opportunity to design in CAD and to formally document our process in a professional Engineering

Another type of robotic surgery is the catheter-based robotic intervention. There are two different types of catheter-based robotic intervention technologies in uses currently, electromechanically based system

The Hydra-Ram weighs 11 pounds and is 13 inches in length which makes it great for portability. Today there are two types of Hydra-Ram Tools available. The first Hydra-Ram Tool available is called the Hydra-Ram 1 which features a 4 inch spread which takes eight pumps to reach its full extension. The second Hydra-Ram Tool available is called the Hydra-Ram 2 which features a 6 inch spread which takes about nine to eleven pumps to reach its full extension. The Hydra-Ram is the first and only hydraulic forcible entry tool that requires no more than one person to control it. To insure lightness of this amazing hydraulic machine, the body is made up of a special aluminum that is heat treated. In order to make sure the Hydra-Ram is stable in the user’s hands, it was made with special finger grips to ensure the user wouldn’t drop the tool. The Hydra-Ram can be used in any position and the jaws that are on the Hydra-Ram use special steal resulting in a tensile strength of

Together, the two sides extend neck; alone, each rotates and laterally flexes neck to that side

The Rube Goldberg Project, assigned by my science teacher to instigate creativity and out of the box thinking, brought out the ingenuity in all of us. Our task was to create a Rube Goldberg Machine that was capable of ringing a desk bell. Individually or in groups, we had to build the machine and present it to the class. This task seemed moderately simple, but in truth, it was much more complicated than any of us had realized. Specific requirements needed to be met that further hardened the project.

Of the four available choices for a senior project, I chose self-development. I wanted to challenge myself and see how well I could plan and complete a time-consuming project. In order to achieve this goal, I delved into 3dmodeling and design. After getting comfortable with 3dmodeling I decided to create a chess board. I enjoy playing chess equally as much as I love working with computers. This project was a married combination of my two favorite things. I was inspired to pursue 3dmodelling from many of the past (and recent) engineering classes I had taken. In the past, I took Basic Drafting and Intro to Engineering where a large majority of our assignments involves manufacturing an object using a 3dmodelling software

Primarily, the function and internal anatomical structure were researched in order to create possible designs and to conclude what key elements needed to be included in the design. In the case of the elbow, it is considered a synovial joint and is further sub-categorized into a hinge or uniplanar joint meaning the joint is responsible for movement in 2 directions in the sagittal plane. Using this information we created two designs, consisting of cotter pins, metal plates and PVC piping.

Extension is limited to 20 degrees. Right and left lateral bending are equal and symmetric to 25 degrees and rotation is 60 degrees bilaterally.

Before we could begin our project we had to plan. We drew a diagram on a piece of paper. At first we tried to build the machine off of the diagram but we had to make a couple slight changes along the way. With the new design we had to correct the diagram from before. We were all pleased with the new design.

To start things off we made ROVs, or Remote Operated Vehicles. They can go underwater to test things, move items, record and much more. But we took ours and put them in the ROV competition. My teams ROV, the Blue Eagles, got first place in the competition. It was specially designed by my team to go up, down, grab stuff and record. Every ROV has to be buoyant, wired correctly, light and many more things.

The human elbow is the summation of 3 articulations. The first 2 are the ones traditionally thought of as constituting the elbow: the humeroulnar articulation (the synovial hinge joint with articulation between the trochlea of the humeral condyle and the trochlear notch of the ulna) and the humeroradial articulation (the articulation between the capitulum of the humeral condyle and the concavity on the superior aspect of the head of the radius). The third is a pivot-type synovial joint with articulation between the head of the radius

Our main project is a DIY Muscle Sensor. Mostly it's been used for medical research and diagnosis of neuromuscular disorders. With the DIY Muscle Sensor we can check our Muscle and their movement. The movement of our muscle will be shown on a graph like a heart monitor. There will be some steps to complete this

The Da Vinci Surgical System is a large purpose-built robot controlled by a surgeon that performs minimally invasive surgical procedures on patients. The system incorporates an ergonomically designed surgeon's console, a patient-side module with four interactive robotic arms, each with interchangeable surgical instruments and a 3-dimensional endoscopic vision system. Powered by high-tech supercomputers, the surgeon's hand movements are scaled, filtered and then converted into precise movements of the surgical attachments. The designers of the system are a team of doctors, engineers and biomedical engineers at a company called Intuitive Surgical.

Your company manufactures and sells an electronic consumer durable product. This is a DOMESTIC ROBOT of (more or less) human appearance, which is designed to carry out a wide range of domestic chores. The machine looks like this:
