  • The Design Freedoms of a Novel Cable-Driven Manipulator

    Creator:
    Layng, Brian M.
    Abstract:
    Legged locomotion in robotics benefits from engineered hardware dynamics such as configuration-dependent, nonlinear transmissions and compliance. This thesis introduces a novel cable driven leg that allows the design of configuration-dependent transmission ratios while also permitting the addition of compliance in line with the cables to achieve compliant legged locomotion. The...

  • Initial Designs for Improving Conversations for People Using Speech Synthesizers

    Creator:
    Nguyen, Duy M.
    Abstract:
    This thesis aims to determine the impact that Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices have on social interactions, and then improves the AAC user experience through a user focus design process. AAC devices enable people who cannot speak to communicate with others. Unfortunately, they are tedious to use and make...
