Microbial Communities and Sustainability

Amazon Robotics engaged SCOPE students in exploring the space of classifying living and non-living beings, locating them, and understanding the vectors they’re heading using commercial-grade and consumer-grade sensing systems.

Olin’s SCOPE team implemented commercial low bandwidth satellite connectivity compatibility into the LUX system, LineVision’s patented contactless LiDAR scanning service; doing so allows LineVIsion to expand coverage to include remote areas with insufficient cellular coverage. This new system will ultimately improve the capacity, resiliency, and safety of the grid.

APH has partnered with Olin College's SCOPE program to modernize one of its most widely used educational tools for students with blindness or who have low vision: the APH Mini-Lite Box.

The SCOPE team will aim to find a practical engineering solution to better track the leather cutting operations that fits seamlessly into the manufacturing process and drives efficiency and quality results for the value stream’s operations.  

Designing Deep-Sea Play Experiences

End-Effector Design and Concept Exploration for Robotic Assisted Surgery

The SCOPE team will develop and evaluate an early-stage system integrating sensing, engineering, and automation methods to support greater consistency, efficiency, and employee experience in seafood processing.

The Olin College SCOPE student team will explore technologies that may support greater consistency, efficiency, and resource utilization in seafood processing. The team will develop an early-stage proof of concept integrating sensing, analytical, and automation methods.

Accelerate Wind is developing rooftop wind turbines that can harness the increased wind speeds that occur at the edges of buildings. Our team supported the installation process by creating infrastructure to characterize and evaluate mounting structures for varied building types, and for characterizing the electrical system.

The 2022-23 GE Healthcare SCOPE team worked to improve CT image quality by creating a tool or process that will allow CT scanner installation technicians to achieve increased alignment precision. 

Boston Scientific has tasked the 2022-2023 BSC SCOPE team with the challenge of improving the current state of their cytology brush and to create a more accurate and efficient tool for physicians.
