(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)The purpose of this research is the mechanical design of a miniature desktop milling machine for use as an alternative class project in MIT's introductory machining course 2.670. This research is important, because a ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The thesis objective was to design a walking robot appropriate for testing a machine earning control system. As a robot that would learn how to walk, it was pre-maturely named Toddler. The passive dynamic walker, a class ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)This thesis paper documents the design process, decisions, and outcomes of the design of the physical form factor of PlayLamp, a device for video and audio recording the development of children at-risk of having developmental ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)This thesis documents my personal contribution to the engineering and design of an actuation system with the purpose of rotating a parabolic solar trough to track the sun throughout the day. The primary focus of the design ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Humanoid robots are artificial constructs designed to emulate the human body in form and function. They are a unique class of robots whose anthropomorphic nature renders them particularly well-suited to interact with humans ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Granular medias such as sands, beads and even coffee exhibit the phenomenon of jamming when exposed to compressive stresses. Jamming refers to the process by which a normally smooth flowing material comprised of discrete ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Polycarbonate is widely used as a transparent protective material because of its low density and excellent mechanical properties. However, when defects such as cracks or notches are introduced, it is subject to catastrophic ...

Mechanics of periodic elastomeric structures with varying void volume fraction and thin-film coating (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Super-elastic periodic structures possess special mechanical, photonic, phononic, and topological properties, making them particularly relevant for application at the micro and nano length scales. This study examines the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The deformation of two-dimensional periodically patterned elastomeric sheets has been shown to trigger interesting pattern changes that are both repeatable and predictable (Bertoldi et al., 2007). Here, both square and ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Many biological materials have been shown to demonstrate remarkable physical properties, outperforming even the most widely-used synthetics. This study investigates mussel byssal threads, the attachment appendage of aquatic ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Articular cartilage tissue engineering is a useful tool to study and enhance the wound healing processes of articular cartilage in vivo. Current tissue engineering scaffolds for articular cartilage are produced by cross-linking ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Partial paralysis is one of the most common problems that affect stroke survivors. Many different rehabilitation therapies are available to stroke patients, including robot-aided rehabilitation, immobilization therapy, and ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)As part of a military design project, further research was requested into an optimum method for delivering water from high altitude to a civilian population on the ground. This thesis explores current airdrop technology ...

Methods for increasing the thermal conductivity of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)A two-part study was conducted to determine methods for producing ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene with high thermal conductivity by way of polymer chain orientation. The first portion of this report surveys current ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Modern methods of multidimensional display are extremely limited in their depiction of three dimensional environments. Improving upon modern integral imaging displays with respect to viewing angle and angular resolution, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Polymer nanofibers hold much promise as advanced composite materials, and can be customized into matrices with special electrical, optical and biological properties. Electrospinning, which utilizes the destabilization of ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Interest in micro-optical components for applications ranging from telecommunications to the life sciences has driven the need for accessible, low-cost fabrication techniques. Most micro-lens fabrication processes are ...
