The goal of this project was to create a miniature, simplified version of the PPOD (Programmable Part-feeding Oscillatory Device) that is currently in the Laboratory for Intelligent Mechanical Systems. This smaller model needed to be easily transportable so that it could be taken to various locations and shown to different groups. The PPOD is a device that is able to manipulate parts placed on it by creating a velocity field that is dependent on the phases and amplitudes of the speakers that are connected to the platform. More information on the original PPOD and related research can be found at the [http://lims.mech.northwestern.edu/projects/frictioninducedforcefields/index.htm LIMS website]. |
