Some Things I Have Designed
Passive Solar House
We have lived in it for 38 years. I drew the floorpans with MacDraw 0.8 (prerelease) when I was an Apple Computer Dealer (before the Apple Stores came along)
BotBrain Robot Board
Control board for teaching robotics. I designed the circuit, the PC board., the logos and the manufacturing process. For BotBrain Educational Robots, my partnership with Bill Bechtel
Robot Wrist
Three Axis robot wrist using a differential gear set & operated by radio control servos. This gripper was voice controlled. For my Arlyn Toolworks company
AnnE
Programmable robot head. We sold 5 and got a scathing review on Gizmodo, which we deserved :-)
For BotBrain Educational Robots, my partnership with Bill Bechtel
Unfretted Clavichord
Custom design for a church organist. Still playing. 1975
Voice Controlled Vise
My rehab robotics company , Arlyn Toolworks, had a grant to see if this could be useful to people with one hand.
Harley Davidson Paintline Simulation
Harley had installed a $5M automated paint line which only output 20% of promised parts- fenders & gas tanks.
I created this simulation which they used to find and fix the flaws in the installation. 1990
Automated Storage/Retrieval System
Lancaster Labs had to store huge numbers of samples in a cooler. I designed this $500,000 system which brought out trays of samples on conveyor automatically. 1992
Feeder Robot
Allows a paralyzed person to feed themselves. 2001.
I received a US Patent for this.
