Future Power Solutions for Exploring Hypothesized Surfaces (Team 2)
This project models and designs a photovoltaic and battery system to support rover mobility on the surface of asteroid (16) Psyche. Using environmental data and system simulations, the team evaluated various power configurations and identified a feasible solution that avoids energy deficits. The final design supports consistent low-speed rover movement and offers a feasible foundation…
Future Power Solutions for Exploring Hypothesized Surfaces (Team 39)
The focus of this project is to design a device that will serve as a modular power station that can harvest solar energy on the surface of 16-Psyche. The design will include a solar tracking mechanism and a charging mechanism for smaller science rovers. Demo Day Zoom link: https://asu.zoom.us/j/84925580760 Video Research poster View the poster…
Future Power Solutions
This project supported the NASA Psyche Mission Team by designing a reliable and energy-efficient power system using Radioisotope Power Systems, or RPS, for baseline power and hydrogen fuel cells for peak demands and backup, ensuring uninterrupted functionality in extreme and uncertain environmental conditions. This is supplemented with a 3D model of the power system, as…
An Optimized LED to Reduce Light Discomfort in Photophobia
Our goal is to simulate a green-enriched white light at a wavelength between 520-540 nm that can alleviate light discomfort in patients experiencing photophobia. Photophobia refers to severe sensitivity to light.

The Trolley Tracker
In response to the issues surrounding the accuracy of the Tempe Streetcar’s estimated time of arrival (ETA), this project seeks to enhance the streetcar’s reliability for Arizona State University students and faculty. The streetcar, which runs along ASU’s campus and Downtown Tempe, is critical for students, staff, and faculty who rely on it to reach…
The Power Transformer and its Application for Educational Demonstration of Power Electronics
The challenge addressed by this project is the lack of accessible, visual teaching tools for illustrating transformer concepts in educational environments. The objective is to develop two demonstration devices that translate abstract electromagnetic principles into observable, physical phenomena. It aims to teach core characteristics of transformers and power electronics to accrue interest in an underrepresented…
The HeadCount: Autonomous Systems, Sensing and Data Processing, Search and Rescue
The HeadCount project aims to develop a robust and user-friendly system that can provide real-time estimates of the number of people in a given area. Our team developed a GUI capable of processing both pre-set and live images and video, and used a Raspberry Pi with a thermal sensor and regular camera sensor to help…
Standalone Hybrid Audio Processing System
The Standalone Hybrid Audio Processing System is a device designed to provide musicians and sound engineers, both new and experienced with audio production, with a single platform containing a variety of effects for the user to manipulate incoming audio with. The system combines analog circuits with a digital signal processing controller to allow for a…
Smart PDLC Controller
We’ve designed a smart control system for an electronically controlled window covering designed to aid the heating and cooling systems in existing homes. The system takes local weather data and combines that with sensor readings to determine the optimal control state. To aid the efficiency goal we have a power system that minimizes the need…
