The purpose of this project is to create a mobile remote controller that operates a mechanical device that plays the piano. We have in our means to design a finger and wrist system that can play every key on the piano. The group has created 4 fingers that play the piano by pulling tendons on a robotic hand. The remote input device is a gloved sensor fitted with flexing sensors that monitor an arthritic patient’s joint movement. The controller then sends the signal to be amplified to a normal...
Show moreThe purpose of this project is to create a mobile remote controller that operates a mechanical device that plays the piano. We have in our means to design a finger and wrist system that can play every key on the piano. The group has created 4 fingers that play the piano by pulling tendons on a robotic hand. The remote input device is a gloved sensor fitted with flexing sensors that monitor an arthritic patient’s joint movement. The controller then sends the signal to be amplified to a normal full range of motion. That signal is sent to the robotic hand which plays the piano. Linear movement of the wrist is transferred with a sliding device. This project was a success and actually was able to assist people in remotely playing a scale on the piano.

Abstract Object of research is to improve a solar desalination device known as the Water Cone that creates potable water using solar energy. The water cone is a polymeric cone that sits overtop a dish of saline water. The water is evaporated by the sun and condenses back onto the surface of the cone creating fresh water. In an attempt to improve the cone’s water production, two different hydrophobic coatings are applied to the inside of two cones, which allow water droplets to flow at a much...
Show moreAbstract Object of research is to improve a solar desalination device known as the Water Cone that creates potable water using solar energy. The water cone is a polymeric cone that sits overtop a dish of saline water. The water is evaporated by the sun and condenses back onto the surface of the cone creating fresh water. In an attempt to improve the cone’s water production, two different hydrophobic coatings are applied to the inside of two cones, which allow water droplets to flow at a much faster rate, collecting water more quickly. Two water cones are coated separately, and are exposed to sunlight for five days. Water collection for the coated portion of the cone is compared to the uncoated portion of the cone. Results after a first trial show that coating A on the water cone impedes water collection whereas coating B appears to increase water collection.
