Vibrating Sample Magnetometer
Seyed Alireza Moezi
A vibrating sample magnetometer is a scientific instrument that measures materials’ magnetic properties based on Faraday’s Law of Induction. The idea of the fabrication of the VSM machine came to my mind when I joined Concordia University for Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering. Since the topic of my doctoral thesis is associated with magnetic soft robots, I needed this device to measure the magnetic properties of the fabricated robots for modeling and simulation purposes. Considering that the price of this machine was at least over 160,000 (CAD) and Concordia University was not equipped with this device, I fabricated it in about two to three months at the cost of about 10,000 (CAD) with high quality. This idea saved tens of thousands of dollars and helped me continue my research. The fabricated machine has the following specifications. (1) Real-Time field control system with very low noise field control, (2) High signal-to-noise-ratio, (3) High accuracy and repeatability at a constant temperature, (4) This VSM machine can reach fields up to 1.6 T, (5) Rotatable sample holder to ease magnetic properties measurements of the sample at desired angles, (6) Equipped with a high-resolution gaussmeter to measure the real magnetic field surrounding the sample, (7) Dedicated software to record the measurement data online for analysis.

Ouad-rotor - Underwater Robot (Conceptual Model)
Ehsan Zakeri, Syed Alireza Moezi
The idea behind this project was to design a novel type of multi-rotor underwater robots by taking advantage of a new and effective arrangement of eight propulsions. This type of mini low-height underwater robot was inspired by Zakeri master’s thesis (a mini unmanned underwater vehicle equipped with a new arrangement of waterjet propulsions). However, due to the lack of required equipment and facilities, this idea did not come into reality and only the schematic of the robot is designed by using SOLIDWORK software.

Electro-pneumatic Delta Robot (Constructing and Controlling)
Seyed Alireza Moezi, Ehsan Zakeri
In this project, motivated by Moezi master’s thesis (Design an appropriate controller for the path tracking of a parallel planar manipulator), a new type of parallel Delta Robot equipped with three electro-pneumatic actuators is designed and constructed. These electro-pneumatic actuators take advantage of six 2-3 fast on/off solenoid valves, which enjoy from several advantages such as being inexpensive, faster response, smaller dimension, lower weight, and simpler structure compared to the proportional one. Indeed, the main purpose of designing such a spatial robot is to perform a precise and fast desired path tracking by its end-effector which entails the design of an effective controller. Accordingly, the application of different types of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) based controllers, such as a PID controller and different types of Advanced Sliding Mode Controllers, for this spatial system is examined.

Single and Double Inverted Pendulum (Constructing and Controlling)
Ehsan Zakeri, Seyed Alireza Moezi
In this project, the design and analysis of different types of control algorithms such as PID controller and Different types of Sliding Mode Controllers for under-actuated systems including Single Inverted Pendulum and Double Inverted Pendulum are conducted. To do so, a cart-pole type inverted pendulum, extendable to double or even triple inverted pendulum, in which a DC motor, through a timing belt, transforms the torque into the force and then applies it to the cart is designed and constructed with the aim of performing some experimental tests. The position of the cart, as well as the rotation angle of the pendulum, are measured using two optical rotary encoders; they are the output of the system. The MATLAB Simulink Real-Time software is used to apply the proposed control strategies to the device.

Ball and Beam (Constructing and Controlling)
Seyed Alireza Moezi, Ehsan Zakeri
The purpose of this project is to design and analyze the application of different types of control algorithms such as PID controller and different types of Sliding Mode Controllers to an under-actuated ball and beam system, experimentally. In the constructed ball and beam setup, a disk attached to the shaft of a DC motor is connected to the beam through a rod, which can adjust the beam orientation by changing the shaft angle. The DC motor shaft angle is measured by a potentiometer connected to it. The position of the ball is determined by two Nickel-Chromium resistance wires which the ball moves on them. The orientation angle of the beam is obtained indirectly from the motor shaft angle. The MATLAB Simulink Real-Time software is used to apply the control methods to the device.
