  • Prototyping of Thermoelectric Energy Harvesting Circuitry for IoT Devices

    Creator:
    Webb, Derek
    Abstract:
    Due to the advancement of incredibly low power microcontrollers and small form factor integrated circuits, energy harvesting can be considered as an alternative, low power source for remote ocean sensing and measurements. To demonstrate the effectiveness of harvesting thermoelectric energy contained in the temperature differential between ocean surface water and...

  • Active Control of Passive Dynamics for Ground Disturbance Rejection

    Creator:
    Koepl, Devin N.
    Abstract:
    We present a model for running that combines active control with passive dynamics, in an attempt to approach the economy and robustness of animal running. Our work is inspired by examples of guinea fowl encountering an unexpected drop in ground surface, with little a ect on their running gait. Previous...

  • Social Determinants to Real FreedomsAn Empirical Development of the Capabilities Approach

    Creator:
    Trujillo, Michael A.
    Abstract:
    In the Capabilities Approach literature “capabilities” are the real freedoms individuals possess to achieve certain “functionings,” which are the doings and beings that constitute a good life. I argue that this approach requires, or at least can benefit from, an account of the psychosocial mechanisms involved in capability limitation. The...

  • Preserving the Planar Dynamics of a CompliantBipedal Robot with a Yaw-Stabilizing Foot Design

    Creator:
    Abate, Andrew M.
    Abstract:
    The ATRIAS agile humanoid robot, along with a number of other spring-mass walking machines, currently have two instabilities: one resulting from inertial forces on the torso which cause the robot to spin like a top, and another resulting from stiff ground collisions which cause chattering of the point-contact toes. This...

  • Hydrogen for Heat: Utilizing Hydrogen for Long-Term Energy Storage in Northern Climates

    Creator:
    Villaverde, Gertrude
    Abstract:
    A long-term energy storage technology is necessary to utilize Oregon’s curtailed renewable energy, an issue the state faces, even with a low percentage of renewable energy in the energy mix. This report proposes a system design that details how hydrogen power-to-gas technology can be used in conjunction with the existing...
