Mitchell Hortin and Dr. Scott Thomson, Mechanical Engineering Introduction The purpose of this project was to develop a reliable method to create the epithelial layer of silicone rubber vocal fold models. The method needed be able to repeatedly create a uniform layer of silicone rubber that is 70-80 microns in thickness. The type of silicone […]
Dynamic Shape Sensing Using a Fiber Bragg Grating Mesh
Douglas Bailey and Dr. Stephen Schultz, Electrical and Computer Engineering Introduction Shape sensing is useful in a variety of applications including medicine, health monitoring of structures such as offshore oil vessels, windmills, spacecrafts, etc. Knowing an object’s shape allows evaluation of its condition during stress or its position in relation to other objects. One common […]
Effects of Assistive Robotics on Tantrums in Children with Low-Functioning Autism
Tayler Whitmer and Dr. Bonnie Brinton, Communication Disorders In recent studies, assistive robotics has been useful in increasing joint attention skills between a child with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and other individuals (Acerson, 2011). These data also show a potential change in tantrum behaviors before and after intervention sessions with the robot. Tantrum behaviors, although […]
