Creating a 360 degree enclosure
Through my participation in the Machine Intelligence laboratory, I had the valuable opportunity to collaborate with both the Mechanical Engineering Department and Electrical Engineering Department. When presented with the chance to spearhead the hardware design for Herman Enghonda's PhD research project, I eagerly embraced the role. This project encompassed a broad array of disciplines, from CAD and drafting to prototyping, mechanical component sourcing, prototype assembly, testing, and design validation of the camera enclosures. Consequently, I gained a comprehensive understanding of the entire design process. Being part of the SmartSystems Laboratory, a dynamic and diverse team consisting of international faculty and research associates, has been particularly rewarding as it provided exposure to diverse backgrounds and perspectives.I have linked Erman’s research profile below:
The Team.
Erman, is pursuing his PhD research project in a non-invasive Distributed Smart Camera system for immersion technologies, including 360° image analysis for scene understanding. Leading the Mechanical Design of the enclosure has been an incredibly rewarding experience. Pre-pandemic, collaborations, meetings, and design brainstorming were carried out in his office at the University of Florida. During and Post- Pandemic the team’s adaptability to a virtual workspace made the transition seamless. We were able to carry out all the necessary activities to carry the project along.
