Poo-mba!
Poomba is an autonomous robotic pooper-scooper designed to keep dog parks clean using computer vision and intelligent navigation. Our system combines a Raspberry Pi 5, custom VEX-based chassis, motor control, sensors, and an Edge Impulse object-detection model to identify and collect waste in real time. The goal is to deliver a fast, lightweight, low-cost robot…
Wearable Electronic Bandage to Improve Efficacy of Vaccine Delivery
Our device is designed to achieve electroporation of the skin allowing for effective vaccine absorption. Electroporation is achieved by delivering high voltage electrical pulses to the skin to generate pulsed electric fields (PEF) within the tissue.
