Tensegrity Deployable Sensor for Disaster Area

Daniel Lim Deployable Sensor for Disaster Area Engineering Monday, 2 November 2026

Tensegrity

Tensegrity is a deployable sensor designed for disaster areas. Tensegrity is dropped from a drone to gather data for emergency response teams, including gas leaks, images and sounds from survivors. Rigid rods and nylon threads form a tensioned structure that absorbs the impact of a fall from more than 50 meters, so no parachute is required. Four collapsed modules are carried in a box under the drone and released over the site, where each module opens on landing. The sensor reaches places that people cannot safely approach.

Mechcircuit Interactive Mechanics and Sensors

Shuyue Feng Interactive Mechanics and Sensors Engineering Saturday, 31 October 2026

Mechcircuit

Mechcircuit is a prototyping system for interactive devices that combine electronic circuits and mechanical structures. Neodymium magnets are both magnetic and conductive, so they serve as both moving joints and electrical connections. Rotary and linear motions are achieved without traditional mechanical parts. Wiring and soldering are replaced by magnets and laser-cut slots, so parts connect and change quickly. Prototypes are cut from 2 mm acrylic sheets, and conductive silver ink forms the circuits. Computer-aided design software supports non-expert users.

Sim One Monitoring Tsunamis

He Li, Nankai Cheng and Li Yang Monitoring Tsunamis Engineering Thursday, 29 October 2026

Sim One

Sim One is a monitoring device designed to detect tsunamis in the open sea. Existing warning methods rely on simulations of earthquake data, which are delayed and often inaccurate. Sim One measures the internal dynamics of the ocean in real time. Several units are anchored along a chain, 30 to 50 kilometres apart, forming a monitoring network. When a dangerous ocean current is detected, a communication buoy is released and sends warning signals from the surface. The shell is made of aluminium bronze and titanium with an anti-corrosion coating.

CR1 Wheelchair

Doug Garven Wheelchair Engineering Wednesday, 28 October 2026

CR1

The CR1 is a carbon fiber wheelchair that is fully customizable to the user's individual specifications and preferences. The unique, dual-angle front end was designed to follow the lines of the user's body, allowing them to get closer to objects for improved accessibility and maneuverability in tight spaces. The aerodynamic tube profile and its orientation were designed to improve strength, user comfort in areas contacting the body and aesthetically to promote a sense of speed. The dual-purpose sideguards provide protection to the user while acting as a structural member for support.
