Progress Report 3/27
Mar. 27, 2020—Progress was made this week in refining the second mechanical design we presented previously before leaving campus. There were several key faults which we identified and sought to improve upon. First, the adapter between the control mechanism and insertion tube was too large to fit the insertion tube. This was easily fixed by scaling down...
Progress Report 2/21/20
Feb. 21, 2020—This week, we continued working developing our two control mechanism prototypes and progressing them to a functional state. Since our camera is still on backorder, we concentrated on developing the device mechanics further. During our presentation two weeks ago, we demonstrated a SolidWorks model that we were going to 3-D printed. As seen below, the...
Progress Update 2/7
Feb. 7, 2020—We aim to design and develop a bronchoscope that is more cost efficient, portable, and durable than current devices on the market and can also be controlled with common appliances such as iPhone and iPad technology for universal ease of use and increased availability. We have already created 2 mechanical control system designs, done extensive...
Progress Update 1/24
Jan. 24, 2020—This past week, we took a step back and realized that our designs had possible mechanical flaws. The actuation wires can get tangled when the bronchoscope is in use. Therefore, we took the first part of the week to go back to the drawing board and come up with 2 brand new designs (Fig. 1-2),...
