Autodesk EAGLE was used by both electrical and mechanical sub-teams, collaboratively, in modelling the printed circuit board (sent to Advanced Circuits for manufacturing). Five sensors were attached below the PCB’s front, pointed orthogonal to the ground to calculate the distance between the robot and wall. This modification reduced the robot’s overall weight and manufacturing costs. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e583ef1875a3f6f1c69f209/t/5e78ffbc6dc2d321f3de2044/1584988102177/IMG_1513.jpg Harvard Robotics - Chemically Driven Robotic Vehicle Chem-E-Car Team Founder, Project Manager https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e583ef1875a3f6f1c69f209/t/5e72c0506aca420d277821fa/1584578646731/chassisdesign.jpg Harvard Robotics - Chassis Design Technical specifications, as provided by AIChE’s Chem-E-Car Competition Guidelines, we ensured to integrate onto the chassis were to: Brake via a chemical reaction stopping mechanism.

The chamber (on the right) ensures that the photo resistors are highly receptive to the reaction’s color change. We prepared aluminum-based battery packs, which generated over 3 volts! The microcontroller is being used to relay both fuel and braking inputs into the motors, causing desired autonomous vehicular movement across the competition floor. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e583ef1875a3f6f1c69f209/5e6b0288a49df074387dc40e/5e6b02bf71a8dc6592afe274/1584071361893/mm2.jpeg Harvard Robotics https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e583ef1875a3f6f1c69f209/5e7148d2c0015606599672c9/5e71493cc53bc84841f172c5/1584482624777/IMG_1568.JPG Harvard Robotics https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e583ef1875a3f6f1c69f209/5e6b0288a49df074387dc40e/5e6b02bf6738445292def7d2/1584071362676/robo1.jpg Harvard Robotics https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e583ef1875a3f6f1c69f209/5e7148d2c0015606599672c9/5e71493cb798612ecffdaf4f/1584482877809/IMG_1530.jpg Harvard Robotics https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e583ef1875a3f6f1c69f209/5e6b0288a49df074387dc40e/5e6b02bfd7c4970394a8a0cd/1584071362085/group1.jfif Harvard Robotics https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e583ef1875a3f6f1c69f209/5e7148d2c0015606599672c9/5e71493c42b82d144feada59/1584482647831/IMG_1506.JPG Harvard Robotics https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e583ef1875a3f6f1c69f209/5e6b0288a49df074387dc40e/5e6b02bf037a0561dd480aa6/1584071361740/logo1.jpeg Harvard Robotics https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e583ef1875a3f6f1c69f209/5e7148d2c0015606599672c9/5e71493cc53bc84841f172c4/1584482645378/IMG_1513.JPG Harvard Robotics https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e583ef1875a3f6f1c69f209/5e7148d2c0015606599672c9/5e71493ccf104733e24351e2/1584482646585/IMG_2150.JPG Harvard Robotics https://www.juliemortiz.com/home daily 1.0 2020-03-23 https://www.juliemortiz.com/home/seniordesign monthly 0.5 2020-03-20 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e583ef1875a3f6f1c69f209/t/5e6a87dfa1302d0f558e5e89/1584039910490/Thumb+hole.png Portfolio - A Polyurethane, Thermoplastic Toroidal Cast to Treat Carpus, Radial and Ulnar Shaft Fractures - A Polyurethane, Thermoplastic Toroidal Cast to Treat Carpus, Radial and Ulnar Shaft Fractures George M.

The orthopedic cast applied limited pressure onto the injury during polyurethane expansion. It is exothermically safe and comfortable for the user to wear. At under 16 ounces, the cast is much more lightweight in comparison to plaster and fiberglass casts. The thermoplastic polyurethane coated fabric is water-resistant. “after the first 24 hours, I didn’t experience any discomfort!” -1st Human Subject (Post IRB Approval) https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e583ef1875a3f6f1c69f209/5e738e3d1f37494b3fde337b/5e7391c7c0b307225d6740c5/1584632267118/Thumb+hole.png Portfolio - A Polyurethane, Thermoplastic Toroidal Cast to Treat Carpus, Radial and Ulnar Shaft Fractures https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e583ef1875a3f6f1c69f209/5e738e3d1f37494b3fde337b/5e73913fb00d321dfc51e7c9/1584632132903/Elastic.png Portfolio - A Polyurethane, Thermoplastic Toroidal Cast to Treat Carpus, Radial and Ulnar Shaft Fractures https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e583ef1875a3f6f1c69f209/5e738e3d1f37494b3fde337b/5e7391965f84be57e9e046a1/1584632218041/design4.png Portfolio - A Polyurethane, Thermoplastic Toroidal Cast to Treat Carpus, Radial and Ulnar Shaft Fractures https://www.juliemortiz.com/home/outpatientwearable monthly 0.5 2020-03-23 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e583ef1875a3f6f1c69f209/t/5e6a7141b66b1166d86c54f8/1584034142668/wearable.jpg Portfolio - Thermometer-Based Wearable for Pediatric Cancer Outpatients in Low and Middle Income Countries - Thermometer-Based Wearable for Pediatric Cancer Outpatients in Low and Middle-Income Countries Global-Health Initiative at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Boston Children’s Hospital Product Development Engineer https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e583ef1875a3f6f1c69f209/t/5e6a5f2f6e95f72650b6e51f/1584029499683/insider+wearable.JPG Portfolio - Thermometer-Based Wearable for Pediatric Cancer Outpatients in Low and Middle Income Countries - Wearable’s Housing The casing was designed to precisely fit the entire electrical assembly, with sensor cap at the bottom to detect critical temperature changes.
