Predicting Chaos with Machine Learning

Our group has performed research into chaos theory to gain understanding of chaotic dynamics, in order to generate ground truth data for a data driven approach to modeling chaotic systems. Our data-driven approach involves the use of a type of shallow recurrent neural network called a reservoir computer. We have built a reservoir computer that…

PROSPECT Rover

The Psyche mission seeks to explore the metallic asteroid 16 Psyche, a body thought to be the exposed core of an early planetesimal, in order to improve our understanding of how planetary cores form. This capstone project addresses the difficulty of studying the Psyche asteroid by designing a rover that can reliably operate in the…

SolarSense – A Low-Cost Solar Power and Battery Monitoring System

SolarSense is a low-cost solar power and battery monitoring system designed to make energy flow visible and understandable for users. It uses an ESP32-based controller with sensors to track voltage, current, and temperature, while managing LiFePO₄ battery charging through a PWM-based control system. Real-time data is displayed locally and on a touchscreen dashboard, turning solar…

VR Training for SRP Distribution Personnel

This project develops a Virtual Reality (VR) training simulator to help Salt River Project (SRP) personnel better understand electrical distribution systems. The simulation creates an interactive environment where users can explore realistic equipment and observe how power flows from substations to residential and commercial customers. By improving visualization and accessibility, the system provides a safer…

Self Balancing Segway Style Robot

Design challenges and solutions of creating a load-carrying, autonomous self-balancing robot are explored. The design focuses on developing an easily reproducible platform that can be assembled by STEM-focused individuals. A secondary focus is maintaining a low barrier to entry through cost-effective design, making it accessible for students and stakeholders in diverse regions. Demo Day Zoom…
