IR Tracker

The IR Tracker (aka "Spot") is a device that follows a moving infrared light. It continuously detects the position of an infrared emitter in two axises, and then tracks the emitter with a laser.

Project Title 2

Here are a few words describing your project, just a teaser to go with the picture at the side.

Learning Oscillator

The Learning Oscillator is given a desired acceleration profile for a linear oscillating mass. It then 'learns' and adjusts the frequency of its force source so the oscillating mass eventually matches the desired acceleration profile.

Programmable Stiffness Joint

The Programmable Stiffness Joint varies rotational stiffness as desired by the user. It is the first step in modeling the mechanical impedance of the human ankle joint (both stiffness and damping) for the purpose of determining the respective breakdown of the two properties over the gait cycle.

Continously Variable Transmission

A continuously variable tramsission is intended to provide a transition from low to high gear ratios while keeping the engine input running at the max efficient speed. It is achieved by a system of variable radius pulleys and a v-belt.

WiiMouse

The WiiMouse is a handheld remote that can be used to move a cursor on a windows-based PC, via accelerometer input captured through device movement.
