A stress detection and management system to provide users with continuous monitoring of relative stress throughout the day and assistance in alleviating it. Our system will include a LED/photodiode circuit to detect the color that indicates stress on commercially available stress dots. A microcontroller will interpret the data from the detection circuit, and if a high level of stress is detected it will activate a stress reducing protocol, which will engage a commercially available heat pad and a metronomic device, which we will build. The heat pad provides a sensory stimulus and the metronomic device will assist the user in rhythmic, smooth breathing.

Amphibious Spherical Explorer

Featured Project

The amphibious spherical explorer (ASE) is a spherical robot for home monitoring, outdoor adventure or hazardous environment surveillance. Due to the unique shape of the robot, ASE can travel across land, dessert, swamp or even water by itself, or be casted by other devices (e.g. slingshot) to the mission area. ASE has a motion-sensing system based on Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and rotary magnetic encoder, which allows the internal controller to adjust its speed and attitude properly. The well-designed control system makes the robot free of visible wobbliness when it is taking actions like acceleration, deceleration, turning and rest. ASE is also a platform for research on control system design. The parameters of the internal controller can be assigned by an external control panel in computer based on MATLAB Graphic User Interface (GUI) which communicates with the robot via a WiFi network generated by the robot. The response of the robot can be recorded and sent back to the control panel for further analysis. This project is completely open-sourced. People who are interested in the robot can continue this project for more interesting features, such as adding camera for real-time surveillance, or controller design based on machine learning.
