Hey Everyone! Our team is very excited to be working on this year’s IPPD project with Johnson & Johnson – Biosense Webster. Our project aims to design and prototype a bimanual wire manipulation tool for micro-assembly.

So far this week we got a chance to:

• Introduce ourselves to each other and got the information from the SOW.
• Review the scope of work and contact both our coaches and liaison.
• Draft our first memo and send it over for approval with our coach Phillip Jackson.
• Plan our upcoming meeting with company liaisons David Rivera and Joyeeta Mukherjee, who will be our main technical contacts throughout the year.

Over the next eight months, we’ll dive into researching state of the art robotic precision techniques, simulating solutions with digital twins, and prototyping a system that can handle the complexity of micro assembly tasks.

We are excited to learn more about the project and gain some skills while developing as professional engineers.
