Currently, clinical simulators (full-body, robotic electromechanical devices) rely on computer-based input through a laptop computer. The computer interface is a complex series of screen-based inputs that are typically handled through keystrokes and the use of a mouse. The goal of this project will be to design and create a new more efficient interface for the Laerdal simulators for medical training with Jump Trading Simulation & Education Center. Currently commands are performed through a series of keystrokes and mouse actions. Along with the keyboard and mouse, the simulator operator will also have a set of dials and a capacitive touch screen to select modes and make adjustments to the simulation. The additional hardware will communicate with the existing Laerdal software through USB.

Bone Conduction Lock

Alexander Lee, Brandon Powers, Ramon Zarate

Featured Project

A lock that is unlocked using vibrations conducted through the bones in the user’s hand. The user wears a wristband containing a haptic motor. The haptic motor generates a vibration signal that acts as the "key" to the lock. When the user touches their finger to the lock, the signal is transmitted through the user’s hand and is received at the lock. If the lock receives the correct "key", then it unlocks.
