Wow, check out this surgery robot that fold origami bird the size of a penny!

What you see here is the da Vinci Surgical System, a pair of remote controlled arobotic arms design for keyhole surgery, folding an origami bird. This seemingly frivolous use for the kit is to demonstrate the ease and accuracy of operation.

This is a great project for your school final project.

Human Interfacing Device is key area in modern electronics era. Gesture recognition can be well introduced in modern day computers to play 3-D games. Virtual Reality is not far away from our doorsteps. Simple inertial navigation sensor like accelerometer can be utilized in getting Dynamic or Static acceleration profile of movement to move cursor of mouse or Gyroscope to even rotate 3-D object. We propose a technique on same principle to convert acceleration profile of accelerometer into distance with double integration. Accuracy might be issue as errors keeps on adding in double integration but with robust signal processing it would not create problems. Only limitation will be in movements that cause little acceleration which puts upper limit on sensitivity of sensor. (In mill volts per g, g= 9.8m/s2)

A lot of Asian cultures still use the moon clock for calculating their birthdays. For whatever reason, our family still cannot figure out my mom’s birthday as it was originally recorded as a Moon day… Well we could figure it out using some moon calculators…

Anyways, check out the moon caclulator here.

Despite the hour hand only roughly modeling the sun’s motion through the zodiac, it turns out that, as a means of obtaining the moon phase, the moon’s phase can still be indicated to an accuracy of better than 1%! This is accomplished by attaching the ‘Moon dial’ graphic disc onto the hour hand. This disc rotates, thereby simulating the way the sun’s movement lengthens the moon’s phase period over it’s orbital period.

Anyway, enough of these crazy meanderings! I’m off now to make a clock which uses a timebase with a division ratio of 3.36 x 10^12. This will create a clock which indicates which geological time epoch you are in!

It’s time for my pills now.
