Project ideas
Project ideas are meant to help inspire student thinking about their own project. Students are in the driver seat of their research and are free to use any or none of the ideas shared by their mentors.
Wearable sensor skin
With this project, we can explore the field of wearable electronics for biomonitoring and human-machine interfaces. You'll strengthen your skills in circuit design, programming, mechanical design, and system prototyping.
Autonomous robot manipulation
Build an autonomous robot arm that can sort objects by color, size, or shape! We can explore control schemes for robot autonomy, computer vision fundamentals, and mechanical design.
