The Cuff-Link™ allows amputees and those suffering from nerve damage to control a computer using nothing but the muscles in their arm. A similar design cost Meta $500 million. It cost us $150.
We presented the project in front of a crowd of 200+ at the Academy of Math, Science, & Engineering 2024 Showcase.
The summer after junior year of HS, I used spare parts to build a low-cost (~$500), 12-motor quadrupedal robot intended to increase the accessibility of advanced robotics to educators and students already participating in FTC Robotics.
I was the CFD lead of a large undergraduate research project in which we compared the aeroacoustics of the MIT Lincoln Lab toroidal propeller against traditional alternatives using ANSYS Fluent and FFT spectra. We are planning to submit the manuscript for conference publication.
