ROAR+FLOW

by

Team: Peilin Zhao (CEE), C.K. Wolfe (ME), Yashwanth Venapally (CEE) Advisor(s): Allen Yang Testing autonomous vehicles in high-risk situations is a difficult and expensive process. Small-scale testing provides opportunities to safely and inexpensively test algorithms in real-world conditions before implementing them on full-scale vehicles. Our team is developing and testing algorithms to control experimental cars… Read More »

Heating and Cooling Pad for Therapeutic Treatment

by

Team: Celeste Castillo (ME), Zachary Christiansen (ME), Jakob Kraiger (BioE) Advisor(s): Van Carey Contrast therapy, the repeated application of alternating heating and cooling cycles to the skin, is effective in increasing blood flow, reducing muscle stiffness, increasing muscle elasticity, and relieving pain. However, despite its proven effectiveness, current contrast therapy is still mostly achieved with… Read More »
