Optishine is a manually powered cleaning device that grabs eyeglasses gently to spray and wipe<br />
the lenses. As oils, dust, and other debris dirty the lenses of everyday eyeglasses users, cleaning<br />
those lenses becomes a great inconvenience. Often, it is uncomfortable to hold eyeglasses by<br />
hand while cleaning, and the typical cloth wipe is done with no liquid, potentially damaging the<br />
lenses after long term use. The “Glasses Cleaner” implements liquid spray with removable<br />
microfiber rollers to circumvent these issues, and to provide a consistent cleaning experience. To<br />
clean, the user places their eyeglasses between the rollers inside Optishine, closes the lid, and<br />
cranks the lever on the side of the box. Optishine was designed to be available in everyday,<br />
public areas, allowing users easy access to cleaning their glasses whenever they need.<br />

WormBot<br />

WormBot is a digging robot designed to shed light onto the inner workings of covered landfills.<br />
It is able to move through a landfill and collect data on the conditions at various locations inside.<br />
For this project, we have decided to focus on developing a novel locomotion system that is able<br />
to autonomously propel WormBot through a landfill. The robot consists of three major<br />
subsystems: a drill to clear a path, a linear expander to push the drill forward, and an expansion<br />
system to provide countertorque to the drill.<br />
