Psyche Robotic Explorer with AI Hazard Detection
Our team designed an autonomous rover to navigate the rugged surfaces of the asteroid Psyche. From our research, it is expected that a rover on Psyche will face harsh conditions such as craters, rocks, and uneven surfaces that could hinder proper data collection. The goal of our project was to design a rover that is…
Power Quality Logger and Protection
Our team has developed a power monitoring device for plug-in household items. The Power Quality Logger will allow any user to identify larger loads throughout the home and devices that are in need of repair or replacement. The device has been designed to upload and store power data including Voltage, Amperage, Frequency, THD, Power Factor,…
PoseiGuard
PoseiGuard is a wearable device intended for use by Freedivers. It measures the user’s SpO2 and heart rate levels, displays them on an LCD, and inflates a personal floatation device via a solenoid if the user’s vitals reach dangerous levels.

PCB Design and Readout for Real-Time Sensing System
This project introduces a portable and cost-effective real-time sensing system that interfaces with the Nanobiotronix biosensor chip. Designed for applications in healthcare and environmental monitoring, it measures electrical resistance across 32 sensing channels. The core of the system involves a transimpedance amplifier network and a microcontroller that translates analog signals into resistance values. A user-friendly…
Optically Controlled Reconfigurable Surfaces
Design and manufacture a control system for a reconfigurable intelligent surface. This control system needs to operate the RIS using light in order to minimize signal disruption.

Open Source Integrated Circuit Design with Fabricated and packaged Silicon TinyChips plus Test/Characterization
Modern chip design is expensive and not very accessible to the general public. The goal of our capstone team is help make chip design more accessible by using and validating a cheap and/or open source workflow for chip design. Our work continues off the progress made by a previous capstone team by testing chips created…
Monitoring Implantable Biomechanical Valve Operation via Acoustic Sensors
Hydrocephalus is a neurological disorder characterized by an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain, which leads to increased intracranial pressure. Our team was tasked with developing a non-invasive, real-time monitoring system that uses acoustic sensors to assess shunt valve functionality. The system listens for specific sound patterns generated by valve actuation and uses…
Monitoring Implant Functionality via Doppler Sensor
The goal of this project is to develop a reliable monitoring system for the PDMS duckbill valve, a prototype developed by an ASU research team, using a doppler sensor to directly capture ultrasound data from the implant and provide real-time insights on whether it is operating as intended. The project involves designing a method to…
Microgrid Implementation for Large Scale Power Outage Conditions and Smart Data Collection and Modeling Tool
This project aims to support utility companies and the communities they serve during emergency power outages in order to ensure that the next time major power sources go down for extended periods of time, the number of people who die as a result is reduced to zero. This goal was accomplished via a microgrid and…
Microgrid Controller
The system includes battery sizing recommendations for providing “ride-through” power during outages, along with a protection and automation framework for managing power transitions. Key features include island detection, load shedding, generator synchronization and seamless restoration to the utility grid when power is restored. The proposed solution is designed to maintain uninterrupted power for critical lab…
