The Engineering Challenge The classification of colored gemstones is traditionally a low-yield manual process bottlenecked by the irregular morphologies and varying optical properties of the stones. The engineering objective was to automate this classification process by weight, dimensional profile, and optical quality (achieving >1 piece per second throughput) without inducing mechanical damage to the high-value […]
The Engineering Challenge Standard Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) utilize 4 to 6 fixed thrusters to achieve omnidirectional positioning. This traditional architecture inherently increases mass, power consumption, and hydrodynamic drag. The objective was to engineer a streamlined subsea platform that maintains full spatial agility while severely reducing the hardware footprint and energy requirements. Hardware Architecture & […]
