SMAS Robotic Arm
Seyed Alireza Moezi
This six-degree-of-freedom robot was fabricated based on the AR robotic manipulator design for the Smart Materials and Adaptive Structures Lab in the second year of my Ph.D. study at Concordia University. This robot, which can carry up to 2 kg of payload and is equipped with six rotary encoders, will be used to actuate the soft magnetic robots developed for my Ph.D. research.

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.

Diagnostic Software for Neuromuscular Diseases
Seyed Alireza Moezi
The developed software, programmed using Visual Basic (VB) language, uses data such as patient history and raw electromyography (EMG) data for the diagnosis process. Due to the wide range of these diseases on the one hand and the overlapping of EMG results, on the other hand, the diagnosis of the disease may be associated with errors. Therefore, this software can help the physician in diagnosing or identifying a list of possible illnesses. The software also records the patient’s medical records and physician’s information. In addition to the abovementioned factors, the software reports each neuromuscular disease’s prevalence among patients referred to the treatment center.

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.
