EPICS Mobility @ Purdue

Purdue EPICS Team dedicated to designing projects to assist in human mobility.

We finally have a prototype!!! Time to give our design review. What a great semester!

[EPICS Mobility @ Purdue @EpicsMobility]

The electrical team has finished their electrical assembly. We are on to the final steps of creating a finished prototype!!

[EPICS Mobility @ Purdue @EpicsMobility]

The team has worked on two new parts to add to the ball. The longer piece will allow for the plug to be plugged with ease. The smaller piece will prevent spilling of the potting material.

Another way to keep track of our map-building process is to check out our MOBI website where all projects and work are listed with provided visuals of progress! Here is a link to our website: https://t.co/BDf9LF4fkL

Below is the first update of our ArcGis Map with labeled buildings and accessible access points! We are in the process of adding interior features like elevators and bathrooms. Stay tuned...

BB8 team preparing the softballs for some field testing. Pun intended

This image has a lot to process!!! In the back right of the image, you can see a fully assembled sphere sleeve. To the left of the sleeve is a single part of the sphere, which is made by the molds in front of it.

[EPICS Mobility @ Purdue @EpicsMobility]

Update from the BB8 team: This part is the electrical components that are put into the sleeve made from the mold. Stay tuned to see it all come together…

IACM is in the lab working!!! You find some really cool things looking at maps...like great fishing spots!

[EPICS Mobility @ Purdue @EpicsMobility]

The IACM project is for students, staff, and guests to navigate Purdue's campus through an interactive map highlighting accessibility features on campus. We are partnered with Purdue's Disability Resource Center to create a web-based product, through ArcGIS(see below).

This year's Design Lead, Heesoo Kim, is a Junior majoring in computer engineering!

[EPICS Mobility @ Purdue @EpicsMobility]

This year's Communications Officer, Maurice Harrison, is a first-year engineering student planning to go into the field of computer engineering! (I'm the one who makes these posts😄)

[EPICS Mobility @ Purdue @EpicsMobility]

This year's Project Partner Liaison, Peyton Day, is a first-year engineering student planning to go into the field of biomedical engineering!

[EPICS Mobility @ Purdue @EpicsMobility]

This year's Project Archivist, Vir Sawhney, is a first-year engineering student planning to go into the field of mechanical engineering!

[EPICS Mobility @ Purdue @EpicsMobility]

Now it is time to introduce this year's IACM team!!!

[EPICS Mobility @ Purdue @EpicsMobility]

The rubber sleeve team has started working on the first mold prototype. The team is just waiting for the urethane to dry for the first half.

[EPICS Mobility @ Purdue @EpicsMobility]

The BB8 team is hard at work once again! The circuit group is sketching out their next idea.

[EPICS Mobility @ Purdue @EpicsMobility]

A big overview of the Purdue campus! The IACM team continues its work with Purdue University partners to make the campus more accessible for everyone. An introduction of the new team coming soon...

Our Design Lead Orlando demonstrated our working power distribution PCB and speaker prototype in lab today!

[EPICS Mobility @ Purdue @EpicsMobility]

Our BB8 team finished a prototype of our speaker circuit last night! This will be one of three circuits in our final prototype, with the other two being Power Distribution and Wireless Charging. Pictured: Karsten Hilgarth, Val Ellis
