In parallel, MOSFETs and boost converters were tested in the lab using controlled loads to verify proper functionality, efficiency, and reliability. These efforts are helping confirm that the power electronics can withstand real-world demands while maintaining stable operation and safe thermal performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond hardware validation, preparation for human factors testing is actively underway, including coordination of test subjects and refinement of testing parameters to ensure meaningful and consistent results. For the virtual analysis work, the team is currently establishing the parameters and boundary conditions that will guide upcoming heat transfer and mechanical load simulations. Defining these inputs now will ensure that future modeling accurately reflects real-world use cases and provides reliable insight to support design decisions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The team made significant progress this week by conducting electrical load testing on the Robin design to evaluate performance under expected operating conditions.
