Project Title: The AUTOMATIC-ALI
Team Member: Michael Sandoval, Ali Diouf, Giorgia Bettin, Dennis Luker, Kevin Robinson
Project type: computer aided design, analysis, manufacturing and mechatronics
Instructor: Firas Sammoura
Factories and warehouses need to unload and load various types of material on a 24-hour basis. Also, many industries have a hard time finding a crew for night shifts, and need to pay them slightly higher wages (on top of social security and other benefits) due to the inconvenience of working all night long. A machine that could load/unload materials while the working force is resting would increase productin rate, and solve the problem of labor, thus lower the overall cost.

Project Title: Biochemical Sensor & Remedy Unit
Team Member: Garrett Lu, Harto Alvias, Xinwei Low, Tian Heong Chan
Project type: computer aided design, analysis, manufacturing and mechatronics
Instructor: Jongbaeg Kim
In today's rapidly changing landscape of urban and guerrilla warfare, it is becoming increasingly evident that new techniques to safeguard our military personal as well as our common citizens are imperative for maintaining a peaceful society. Through the events after 911, it is even clearer to use that biochemical warefare is no longer just an imaginary menace, but a real threat to millions of people worldwide. For this reason, we are striving to introdue a small, portable project that can detect hazardous biochemicals during potenailly dangerous situations and a remedy unit that can automatically inject an antidote.

Project Title: Robotic Fish
Team Member: Broc Tenhouten, Ian Guthrie, Sean Neprud, Rajiv Gouind
Project type: computer aided design, analysis, manufacturing and mechatronics
Instructor: Jan Michael Tressler
A robot fish will be built for research purposes as well as possible entertainment applications. The first stage will be to research the kinetics and create a design that would replicate the fish movement mechanically. The second stage will be to fabricate the basic structure of the fish including skeleton and skin and install components necessary for motion. The third stage will be to make the fish move forward in a straight line without the aid of propellers. The forth stage will be to make the fish move up and down (rise and submerge). The fifth stage will be to make the fish move to the left and right, and perhaps turn around.
Team 5
Project Title: Powerblades SPT5000
Team Member: Ramon Duggal, Mukunda Singhal, Yuk Fai Tham, Michael Chung
Project type: computer aided design, analysis, manufacturing and motion control
Instructor: Jongbaeg Kim
Squatting Panda Technologies is proud to introduce the initial design of the Powerbaldes SPT5000, a gas powered in-line skating system designed to motorize rollerbaldes and to provide an affordable and efficient transportation means.
Team 6
Project Title: Portable Gas Sensor Prototype
Team Member: Giovanni Gonzalez, Gina Kim, Issayas Afework, Chien Li Yeh
Project type: computer aided design, analysis, manufacturing and prototyping
Instructor: Jongbaeg Kim
The portable gas sensor prototype aims to provide a self-enclosed system that workers can carry around for fast detection and response to dangerous high gas concentration in the work area.
Team 7
Project Title: Automated Guided Vehicle
Team Member: Adam Leeds, Kai Cheung, Moty Keovisai, Hulwan Haji Idris
Project type: computer aided design, analysis, manufacturing and mechatronics
Instructor: Firas Sammoura
The constant movement of goods from one place to another would make a vehicle that can transport goods from point to point invaluable. Using such a vehicle instead of huamn labor can prevent accidents, minimize work-related injuries, and provide timely deliveries.
Team 8
Project Title: The Decappitator
Team Member: Michael Miklos, Edward Chan, Janine Pierce, Genevieve Gaspar
Project type: computer aided design, analysis, manufacturing and mechatronics
Instructor: Jongbaeg Kim
In light of today's new trend towards ergonomic and injury-free work environments, a test tube decapper for use in medical laboratories will be developed. In the course of daily activities, a medical technologist must remove a few hundred test-tube tops - a repetitive task that has been shown to cause tendonitis and carpal tunnel cyndrome.
Team 9
Project Title: Autonomous Mapping Robot
Team Member: Ben Blake, Stephanie Chung, Zach Lerner, Alex Sotelo, Keeline Wilox
Project type: computer aided design, analysis, manufacturing and mechatronic s
Instructor: Firas Sammoura
The capability of mapping a room and the objects within the room without human aid is revolutionary technology that can benefit a variety of businesses such as security corporations. The key idea is that the robot is able to map out the area and navigate its way around the room based on the generated map.
Team 10
Project Title: StudMaster
Team Member: Marcus Rosenthal, Ari Bronstien, Armen Askijian, John Pelochino
Instructor: Jan Michael Tressler
The team is to construct an automatic screw feeding system that will be able to move the drilling mechanism along two rails to place screws in all the necessary locations. The drilling mechanism will be moved using a rotating, thread rod. An automatic screw feeding mechanism will be researched to find the appropriate model for the setup. A stud finder will be placed at each end of the device to make sure that the screws are being drilled into studs. The StudMaster will have a user interface that will enable specifications on screw spacing, size and material.
Team 11
Project Title: The Anti-Vomit System
Team Member: Andrew Alarcon, Wei Xiong, Jehnan Liu, Steven Wilson
Instructor: Jan Michael Tressler
AVS is a system designed to reduce the degree and amplitude of boat-oscillation. If the boat were left to its own, it will eventually stop rocking and rolling after a long period of time. The new AVS system will decrease the rolling by a factor of at least two.
Team 12
Project Title: Autonomous Pursuit Vehicle
Team Member: John Guinn, Khurram Tai, Gordon Kariya, James Lee, Timothy Melano
Instructor: Jan Michael Tressler
The team is to develop an autonomous vehicle that may be used to track a specific target vehicle that has been tagged for pursuit. This endeavor is an important start in an emergent technology that will find a niche in many areas of practical applications, such as law enforcement, defense, and possibly wildlife research and/or gaming.
