Meet The Team

A URDF Exporter for Fusion 360

This a modified version of the fusion2urdf (https://github.com/syuntoku14/fusion2urdf) and fusion2pybullet (https://github.com/yanshil/Fusion2PyBullet) repositories.

Dezeen Feature: Mathew Schwartz creates X-ray images of flowers using a micro-CT scanner

X-ray images of flowers by researcher and designer Mathew Schwartz form the identity of this year's Dezeen Awards. Schwartz, an assistant professor at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, used a micro-CT scanner to create the images of blooms including miniature orchids, lilies and tulips.

DHART: A C++ package with interfaces to Python, C, and C# for Design, Humans, Analysis, and RoboTics

There are a few components to the package, but the main focus is in providing fast ray-casting interfaces for python and C# for a variety of analysis and evaluation techniques.

Mechanics & Electronics

As computation becomes more accessible, both in cost and in size, the everyday products we encounter have the potential to become more independent and provide alternative services than their main function. In this class, the basics and fundamentals of how these products work are covered in a bottom up approach. This means rather than focus on designing a 'smart chair,' the class will go over the basics of how electrical circuits work, how various sensors work, and how the mechanics aspects of a moving chair could work.

Sculptural Motion

Sculptural Motion was a year long project that dealt with technology, sculpture, dance, and martial arts.

Motion Capture Experiments

During my time at the University of Michigan 3D Lab I worked on various projects using motion capture.
