Handheld Biosensing System

Our project is a biosensing system that utilizes a biochip that can detect DNA hybridization. The biochip provided will be plugged into into a circuit that will measure the resistance from 32 channels that we must be able to read and detect. The data will transmit through our circuit, provide a readout on the provided…

Cart Navigation of Obstacle Course

Team 40 created a cart for the navigation of 2D spaces utilizing input from an overhead camera and a base station for the creation and distribution of commands.

16 – Psyche Economized Power Solution

Our project is about increasing the efficiency of power systems that utilize radioactive fuel sources currently used for deep space exploration. This is done by combining RTG technology with a Stirling engine and an AC generator. The purpose of doing so for the Psyche mission, is to increase the capabilities and overall mission length of…

Future Power Solutions for Exploring Hypothesized Surfaces: Hybrid Energy Storage System​

Sample Acquisition from Hypothesized Surfaces

Develop a functional and cohesive benchtop prototype of a sample acquisition control system, consisting of a custom Power Distribution Board (PDB) and a digital controller interfacing with an emulated drill, environmental sensors, and a simulated 36 V spacecraft power bus. The primary technical focus is on implementing a comprehensive sensing suite which utilizing, temperature, vibration…

Psyche Sample Collection

We have designed a sample collection subsytem whose mission is to collect solid material cores from a variety of environments on the asteroid Psyche. We will present CAD files of the design, electrical planning, and math proofs.

Psyche Energy Management System for an Autonomous Rover

We developed a dual mode power management system combining a Python simulation and Arduino hardware using a shared control algorithm. The system successfully modeled and managed rover power under calculated solar power levels for all parts of the asteroid 16 Psyche’s orbit and latitudinal positions on the surface. The system demonstrates reliable fault handling, adaptive…

Non-volatile Resistive Switching Memory Technology

Resistive Random-Access Memory (RRAM) is a two-terminal, non-volatile memory device that stores data by switching between the High Resistance State (Logic ‘0’) and the Low Resistance State (Logic ‘1’). RRAM is a leading candidate for next-generation memory due to its simple metal-insulator-metal structure, fast switching, excellent scalability, and low power consumption — addressing key limitations…
