Industry Sponsored Senior Design Projects
Automated Test Robot
MOOG
Moog asked the students to design and build an automated inspection robot to perform electrical testing
on the circuits of slip rings. Currently the company measures all electrical parameters by hand and with
visual inspection which are costly and prone to error.
