Our goal of this project is to design an epidermal electronics system (EES) and its application for human-machine interface.

Owing to micro/nanotechnology development, there are many types of motion sensors such as Nintendo Wii game controller. However, users still need to hold the controller on hand in order to control it.
Here, I wish to address this issue by directly mounting the electronic system onto skin epidermis, such that human motions can be directly translated into a controlling system. The one of the main point of epidermal device is that this device will follow the skin motion so that it guarantees formal skin contact. Therefore, it will reduce motional defects.

This project will be separate into three parts: epidermal EMG Sensor, Signal Conditioning Unit, and programming.

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.
