One of the most important questions in Marine Biology is how new species arise and shape the biodiversity of the ocean. Sea Star (previously WALL-E) was developed to answer this question by studying cypridinid ostracods, a 'sea firefly' with incredible biodiversity: many different subspecies output various light patterns which Sea Star catalogs. Sea Star is equipped with two cameras to record 3D videos of the bioluminescence, as well as a Photomultiplier Tube to record light levels with extreme precision.

Scopen is a pen-like wireless oscilloscope that is both convenient and affordable for students in introductory engineering courses as well as engineering hobbyists. Scopen has the functionalities of a benchtop oscilloscope and the flexibility and portability of a handheld multimeter that captures voltage waveforms and transmits them wirelessly to a user's personal device. Designed for comfortable one-handed use, the device contains a scroll wheel that allows the user to conveniently change measurement settings such as time and voltage division.

SafeVision detects objects that will obstruct movement of a surgical robotic arm and microscope head. SafeVision uses the spatial information of the microscope head and robotic arm to prevent collisions with obstacles during movement. Once an object interferes with the robotic arm's trajectory, SafeVision stops arm movement and warns the operator of the detected obstruction. The robotic arm uses distance measuring sensors which forward the information to a processor. The processor communicates with the main Windows system to control the robotic arm using Universal Robotics' API.

An impaired state of coagulation called coagulopathy is a deadly condition that occurs in approximately a quarter of trauma patients. This condition is not easily detectable, leading to delayed care in a time-critical situation. RTCM is a real-time coagulopathy measuring system that encases an Android device, allowing for quick and clear patient readings. A drop of blood is set into a sensor strip where it is then placed onto a thermoelectric Peltier module and connects to the sensor reader.

Although smartphones and GPS have made navigation dramatically easier, it can still be extremely difficult for a visually impared individual to identify their location. Phone applications can show the surrounding area on a 2D plane, but require the user to interact heavily with the application to determine their physical context and surroundings. IntelliSight targets this problem by designing a pair of sunglasses, equipped with an inertial measurement unit (IMU), which quickly relay location information with a simple motion of the head.

Elephant-Human Conflict (EHC) is one of the major problems in most African and Asian countries. As humans continue to utilize natural resources for their own development, the living area of elephants continues to decrease. This leads elephants to invade human living areas and crop-raid more frequently, costing millions of dollars annually. Guardian proposes an autonomous drone system to mitigate crop-raiding.

Bermuda aims to address the problem of localized GPS loss that can be caused by potential jamming during cyberwarfare. Unlike GPS and its use of satellites, Bermuda uses cell towers to trilaterate an entity's location to provide a location tracking system that is more robust against jamming. The system is implemented by placing a multi-channel software defined radio, an inertial measurement unit, and a microcontroller on a drone. Bermuda receives and processes directional signals from cellular towers to detect the drone's location relative to the towers.

NASA astronauts are routinely faced with long, complex procedures and often have to call ground control for guidance. This presents a major problem for prospective missions: messages from Mars, for instance, have an up to 20-minute flight-time from one planet to the other. In collaboration with NASA's Ames Research Center, our project, Watchdog, aims to pioneer solutions by using AI to verify astronauts' fidelity to standard operating procedure and offer suggestions during deviation.

In many industrial manufacturing processes, an underlying goal is to manufacture products with high yield while ensuring financially viable time-to-market. This is especially true for the semiconductor manufacturing processes where Product Engineers spend significant portions of their time analyzing production data to address sudden yield issues, and/or discover ways to optimize the production yield. Intelligent Engineering Assistant (IEA) is an AI assistant designed to facilitate a Product Engineer's workflow.
