Motion Planning and Control of Industrial Manipulators

Our project involves the use of robotic arms with six movable joints. Utilizing Inverse Kinematics, we will program the arm to figure out how to position each joint to reach specific points, offering flexibility in handling tasks. Through motion planning, we will design paths that the arm can follow to move from one point to […]

Informative Art Simulations and Games for Improving Energy Awareness in the Home

While energy conservation in the home is an important part of reducing our ecological footprint most people do not understand or even realize how their energy consumption works and how they can manage it. In-home displays offer the opportunity to help become more aware, but often do not fit into a home’s aesthetics, typically relegated […]

Rich, Immersive AR/VR Communication

Face-to-face communication provides substantial benefits over traditional remote communication via video and voice: the expressivity of body language, spatial grounding in a common physical space, access to physical tools and objects, and much more. For many collaborative tasks, face-to-face communication is considered indispensable, yet meeting in person can be rendered infeasible by any number of […]

Flexible nanocomposite films with electromagnetic interference shielding properties

The ongoing advancements in electronic equipment towards intelligence, portability, and wearability have increased demand for lightweight, flexible, and mechanically robust electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials. There are textile-based EMI shields in the market; however, they are mostly reflection-based shields rather than absorption-based, which results in secondary pollution. As such, this research project is an initiative […]

Comparing Security Frameworks for Operational Technology

Several popular OT security frameworks have been developed to help organizations protect their critical infrastructure and industrial control systems from cyber threats. Two of the most popular standards include ISA/IEC 62443 (formerly ISA 99) and NIST SP 800-82 Rev.2 (ICS Security Guide). The purpose of this project is to use an existing OT infrastructure to […]
