MX3D is an R&D startup focused on 3D-printing metals and resin in mid-air, without the need for support structures. They pride themselves in “robotic technology with which we can 3D print beautiful, functional objects in almost any form.” Now they say “We are going to print a steel bridge in Amsterdam.” The robots will be printing in steel and the robots will print that bridge over water in Amsterdam.

Introduction and Rationale Our ECE 4760 design project integrates three different kinds of sensor measurements to track a user�s movement speed, regularity of gait, force on impact, pronation of foot, as well as other information that may be useful to a podiatrist. We believe there is a need for a cheap metering tool that can […]

For our final project we decided to construct a human tracking rotating platform that supports a fan. The platform, using dual element Pyroelectric Infrared Sensors (PIR) sensors, rotates itself independently to direct air flow to whatever position a person moves to. In addition, the fan includes another setting that allows precise rotation between two people. […]

Introduction The goal of this project is designing microcontroller operated drum set and guitar which are only consist of drums sticks, pedals, and pick. This is done by implementing accelerometers which are connected to the microcontroller. By swinging the sticks and picking the guitar in the air you can play drums and guitar. We also […]

An international team, led by researchers at the University of Miami (UM) Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, has developed a new, timelier method to identify harmful bacteria levels on recreational beaches. The new model provides beach managers with a better prediction tool to identify when closures are required to protect beachgoers from harmful contaminates in the water.

Introduction We created a system that takes input from a piano and displays the musical notation for it on a television screen. The system uses hardware amplification and filtering of a microphone output with code in C compiled on two Atmel Mega644 microcontrollers. The basic tasks required are pitch identification, measurement of note duration, and […]

Inside every cell that makes up a diminutive fruit fly is a vast, dynamic network of information—the genome whose 15,000 genes allow that cell to function. In a study recently published as a breakthrough article in Nucleic Acids Research, computer scientists and molecular biologists demonstrated the utility of a novel approach to deciphering how networks of genes are regulated.

ToneMatrix Touch by Jane Park, Michael Chin We can be reached at {jp624 | msc247} at cornell dot edu. —a touch-based, interactive matrix that plays music corresponding to active grids and displays playback state using LEDs Introduction The ToneMatrix Touch (TMT, aka Teenage Mutant Turtle) is a touch-based music-synthesis device based on an ATmega644 microcontroller. […]

Part I. High Level Design 1 Rationale and Problem Overview As regular grapefruit consumers, both of us could appreciate the value in automating the cutting procedure. We saw the problem as suitable for a final project because it is [very] challenging while requiring a combination of software, analog electrical hardware, and physical components. The device has […]

Introduction For our Final Project in ECE 4760, we built a controller that interfaces with a computer running a PowerPoint display through USB. The device can control slide transitions based on hand motions or button presses as well as play MP3 files when it detects people near the display. We chose to do this project […]
