# Title
Continuous Roll-To-Roll LB Film Deposition Machine


# Problem Statement
The large-scale production of lb film has great economic potential, but there are technical problems. At present, the world has failed to achieve large-scale mass production of lb film, and the development cost is extremely expensive.

# Solution Overview
This project is aimed at solving the mass production problem of LB film using a continuous roll-to-roll production method which can make a great contribution to the industry application of LB film.

# Solution Components
The project consists of three parts:

1. The production system, including stainless steel tanks, is used for loading liquid solvents on which nanomaterials float. Above one side of the slot is a nanomaterial burette for adding nanomaterial to the slot, which is controlled by a computer system.
2. The collection system consists of a bracket and five stainless steel rolls, two of which are used to collect Ptes with nanomaterials attached to the surface and three of which are used to adjust the slope of the contact area. The reel is connected to the transmission and motor and is controlled by a computer system.
3. Electromechanical control system with all computer components built in, used to adjust the traditional speed, find the best production conditions, control the operation of the system.

# Software Components:
1. The speed of stainless steel drum operation is adjusted by setting the code, and the speed is expected to be 0.55-20 mm per minute. Therefore, it is necessary to visualize the speed of stainless steel through the computer and observe the production results in time.
2. The height of the stainless steel drum is controlled by a computer to achieve different slopes of the film in order to find and stabilize the best Angle of tension diffusion to achieve maximum production efficiency.

# Criterion for Success
1. Find the best moving speed of rolling speed, syringe pump speed and angle between interface and film surface.
2. Solve the problem of material will gp through the film from two sides.
3. Achieve the production of regularly LB film.

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.
