Multiphysics Design of Narrow Gap Laser Weld Joints

Welding technologies are fundamental to fabrication and ubiquitous within manufacturing. Laser welding has found wide application for the joining of precision metal components and high-speed production due to the intense laser heat source. Low penetration or “conduction mode” welding is well controlled, depositing energy and melting at the surface of the metal. However,

Project ARIES: Emergency Autonomous Response System

The Emergency Autonomous Response System is a system of intelligent and connected autonomous vehicles to support in emergency scenarios and provide an immediate response to the situation. Due to the increase in the rate of natural and man-made calamities, we need to recheck our ability to perform an emergency response operation without any delay.

Quality Motor Controller

Tired of needing to patch the machine so it is compliant? Using shielded cables and adding ferrite for EMC and additional external relays for safety, only to discover that you still need to add additional shielding to pass? This all comes after a long period of creating the movements (application software) and tuning the motor.

Rapid 3D Printing on Space/Air/Sea Missions

Current technologies for additive manufacturing (3D printing) are mostly developed for on-earth environment which relies on the gravitational force, and any vibration/disturbance must be minimized. However, in many situations, e.g., on space missions where gravity is close to zero, while on air/sea missions (on-board of aeroplanes/ships) where random vibration is unavoidable,

Reconfigurable Elastic-Deformable Panel

The result of this work is the technical implementation of the idea of a reconfigurable elastic-deformable panel that has a continuous smooth shape of the cover surfaces when the panel is deflected by a certain angle and at the same time able to perceive a given normal load.

The reconfigurable elastic-deformable panel (Fig.

RepelWrap-a Nature-inspired Surface Technology for Repelling Contamination

The RepelWrap is a transparent and flexible plastic film that significantly repels liquid and microbial contaminations (viruses and bacteria) from surfaces, keeping them clean even under the most contaminating conditions. The RepelWrap is an omniphobic surface technology (a surface repelling a broad range of contaminants), which uses engineered hierarchical materials to transform commercially-available plastic wraps into repellent films.

Robotic Seed Planter

Agriculture is the primary source of livelihood for about 58 percent of India’s population. Gross Value Added by agriculture, forestry, and fishing is estimated at Rs 18.55 lakh crore in FY19. 1/5TH of the total agricultural output is lost due to inefficiencies in harvesting, transport, and storage of government-subsidized crops.

S.F.P.D. Micro Plastics Detector for Food

S.F.P.D. utilizes terahertz (THz) electromagnetic wave technology to detect the residual plastic particles in the fish body. Before the fish sorting and classification, the plastic material detection will be first conducted. The fish containing the plastic particles are separated and cut through the fish processing slice to remove plastic particles.

In addition, S.F.P.D.

SALL-Y 500 Autonomous Robot System

A robot doesn’t get scared or tired. But people do, and it costs $80 billion per year in the construction industry. We make droids to perform difficult jobs, so people don’t have to. Unlike using an employment agency, Sally500 droids do not require benefits, insurance, or time off the clock. Instead, our clients will rent our droids per job,
