Congratulations and we look forward to your continued successes!
Michael Abraham ME MS Defense (August 2016)
Michael succesfully defended his master’s thesis. Unfortunately more details can not be disclosed due to intellectual propetty.
Congratulations and we look forward to your continued successes!
Your desk in the MARS lab will feel lonely, hopefully for a short time!
Senior Design Groups for Fall 2016 – Spring 2017
The MARS lab sponsored two senior design groups to continue research with the artificial hand. The two senior groups are from the MAE and CSE departments.
MAE Students:Nicolas Long, Henry Nguyen, Heather Salah, Michelle Tadlock, Emma Vasquez Ordonez (Lead)
CSE Students: Kristina Jefferson, Damian Jimenez (Lead), Craig Lautenslager, Caesar (CeeJay) Llaga, Zubair Qureshi
We are looking forward to your accomplishments and contributions to the MARS lab activities!
Senior Design – August 11, 2016
The senior deisgn team, Eddie, Samantha, Britton and Aaron, sponsored by the MARS Lab successully presented their project on the redesign of an artificial thumb with improved mobility.
Congratulations and we look forward to your continued successes and participation in the research activities of the lab!
Saul Gutierrez – August 2016
Saul completed his McNair’s scholar innternship in the MARS lab where he iinvestigated and compared the machine learning algorithms in LabVIEW 2015 for their classification capability to identify the geometry of objects (cylinder or sphere). He presented his findings at the McNair’s scholars forum. Saul worked closely with Chris and Dr. Shiakolas. The picture is from the McNair scholars dinner where certificates were awarded to all scholars.
Congratulations and we look forward to your continued successes and participation in the research activities of the lab!
NI Week 2016 – August 1-4, 2016
The MARS lab participated in the NI Week 2016 in Austin, Texas. The NI Week was held for 4 days at the Austin Convention Center. The lab had a poster at the academic forum titled “Using LabVIEW and myRIO in Machine Learning for Human Robot Interaction with an Artificial Hand”. In addition, the lab was provided a booth where they demonstrated the current state of their research work in HRI and Machine learning with the artificial hand. The demonstrations attracted a lot of visitors, from young to experienced, who were impressed especially when they used a sensorized wearable glove to control the hand motion to perform various gestures and especially handshakes.Link to a video by Design World on the UTA artificial hand “Teaching an artificial hand to (hand)shake”. Mr. Lee Teschler (Design World) interviewed Dr. Shiakolas and Mr. Eddie Ordonez.
Link to a youtube video during the Academic Forum showing the artificial hand and UTA team.
The lab was represented by Heriberto (Eddie) Ordonez aka the plastic surgeon, Christopher Abrego and Dr. Shiakolas.
