Ramón E. Sánchez Cruz
PhD Candidate, 6th year, MechE
I earned my undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering at the University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez. As a PhD student in the AAL, I am working on developing haptic feedback systems for assistive technologies. My research interest spans from haptic devices embedded in assistive technologies to fully wearable and self-contain haptic devices that could be placed on different parts of the body.

MS Student, 1st year, MechE

Over the course of the year I will be converting the robot, Rosie, in the Automated Design and  Manufacturing Laboratory portion of EPIC, to make electric circuit boards. The robot will be able to pick and place electronic components into a base with allocated positions, and print conductive ink to act as wires and electrodes connecting the electric components. This will enable students to be able to design and produce their own electric circuit boards.
