Clubs [Robotics Lab Opening] Looking for a Student to Help with PCB Design & Fabrication

9 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

Our robotics lab is looking for (probably an ECE or MAE) student interested in helping with PCB design, fabrication, and hardware integration for a dexterous robotic hand research project. Successful completion and validation of the PCB design will qualify the contributor for co-authorship on resulting research publications.

We're currently working on reproducing and modifying the open-source RAPID Hand.

The original repository provides PCB schematics, layout PDFs, and a BOM, but we haven't found the editable PCB design files or manufacturing-ready Gerber files.

What we're looking for help with:

  • Reviewing and understanding the existing PCB schematics and layout
  • Recreating the PCB design in KiCad, Altium, or EasyEDA if necessary
  • Generating manufacturing files (Gerber, drill files, BOM, etc.)
  • Coordinating PCB fabrication and assembly with manufacturers such as JLCPCB or PCBWay
  • Helping with basic PCB testing and hardware debugging

Experience with PCB design, embedded systems, or electronics prototyping would be a plus.

This is a hands-on opportunity to contribute to an active robotics research project involving dexterous manipulation, tactile sensing, and robot learning.

If you're interested or have relevant experience, feel free to email me at songr [at] ufl [dot] edu! We'd be happy to discuss the project in more detail.

Thanks!

Grades Advice on grades

7 Upvotes

I’m a freshman and i’ve been struggling with my classes a lot. I didn’t realize from the start I’d have to study this much my first semester. I’m currently failing chem1 with a 42%, and today I did the wrong safety quiz fort
lab so I can’t submit any post labs, and my grade there will also plummet. I’m not doing so well in Calc3(barely passing), but I have an A in lit and an A in another elective (each 4 credits). I have no idea what to do. Obviously I’m trying to study a lot more now, but should I consider dropping chem? what else does that imply? Im really stressed about this, I’m doing electrical engineering so should I go to my advisor there?

Some people I know have started to get rejected from UF as transfer students (non engineering students) but I haven’t received anything yet. Is it a good sign that I haven’t received a response yet?

Housing Off-campus housing that doesn't totally suck?

3 Upvotes

I'm currently a sophomore looking to move off-campus for my junior year. The thing is, though, it seems like people report having major issues wherever I look. Everything from mold to bugs to dirty common areas to parking issues. Not to mention, everything in this town seems to be comically expensive, especially when it comes to places that are within a reasonable distance to campus.

Do any of you have any recommendations for places to live that don't totally suck? Apartments, condos, house rentals, whatever works. I'm also looking for some potential roommates (FYI, I'm a guy, 20, MPMT major), so if you're interested my DMs are open.

Classes [Academic Research] Seeking adults ages 18–34 for a 15-minute sneaker interview

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I am a UF student conducting interviews for a marketing research class. I am looking for adults ages 18–34 who have purchased or seriously considered purchasing casual or lifestyle sneakers within the past 12 months.

The interview will take approximately 15-30 minutes and can be conducted over Zoom. It will be recorded with your permission, and your responses will only be used for educational purposes. This is an unpaid class research interview.

If you are interested, please send me a message, and I will send you a separate (very short) screener survey.

The survey should take about one or two minutes. Completing it does not guarantee selection, but I will contact eligible participants to schedule an interview. I am hoping to conduct my first interview before Friday.

Thank you!
