Corbotics Team – Week 3 Update:

Hey everyone! Week 3 has been a busy and exciting one for Team 11 (aka Corbotics) as we keep diving deeper into our Johnson & Johnson Bimanual Wire Manipulation project. Here’s a quick look at what we’ve been up to and what’s coming next.

We worked on our logo and name for our project over the weekend and came to the idea of Corbotics, with Cor being latin for Heart and Botics being short for robotics. We then designed the logo over the weekend and after discussion with the liaison and our classmates we decided on the design below:

We had our first liaison meeting this week and prior to the meeting we sat down together to map out an agenda for our first liaison meeting and brainstorm some solid questions to ask. Prior to the meeting we also checked in with our coach, Dr. Jackson, to get aligned and make sure we were prepared. After wrapping up the week with our first liaison meeting on 9/11, we got a clearer picture of the project scope and some helpful feedback.

Our next goals are to finish and submit our Product Design Specifications. Catch up again with both our coach and liaison to share updates and figure out next steps. Keep digging into background research especially around Varipulse, material choices, and how to handle the bimanual wire manipulation process. 

We’re feeling good about our progress so far and the project is on schedule!

That’s it for Week 3. We’re excited to keep the momentum going as we move into Week 4. Stay tuned!
