This device is an electro-mechanical Medical Device to prevent DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) episodes in patients that came out of surgery.
PEDS helped design and prototype this for a company called OsciFlex, LLC.

Vision device for birds
Nice article in the the NY Times about a device placed on birds to research blinking patterns:

AI and IoT
We are looking to find ways to help researchers, students and the Penn community to incorporate embedded systems and IoT for all devices.
There are countless systems out there that may benefit from using IoT and we have the technology to implement it.
The next benefit is to use AI and machine learning algorithms to solve previously unsolvable problems.
Hopefully, we can find the need out there to satisfy.

I will write for about 15 minutes about what I notice in this very interesting engineering job.
Sleepy Mouse
One of the main challenges we currently face is how to identify a mouse waking up from anesthesia. Apparently, if the mouse is within the effects of anesthesia, and you turn it upside down, it will remain upside down. If within 10minutes the mouse is not back from it (the anesthesia), then the mouse will remain in the same “dead-bug” position.
First, we need a motor mechanism to turn the mouse inside a small pressurized chamber. Once in there, we are currently exploring 2 options:
- Accelerometer and Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLTE).
- Ink and a visual color sensor.
We are currently experimenting and will share the final results in a few weeks.
Penn EDS Blog
I would like to create a blog to share wisdom in the world of Embedded Systems and research-oriented electronics.
I hope I will start to build an audience and I can make my site more dynamic.
Here is an interesting video about what is coming from our Penn graduate, Elon Musk:
