Daniel Schulman, a PhD student in mechanical engineering, making adjustments to the active seat in the vehicle he and Nishant Jalgaonkar use for researching motion sickness mitigation solutions for passengers of autonomous vehicles, outside the George G. Brown Laboratories on the North Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Wednesday afternoon, June 12, 2022.
Autonomous vehicles create the opportunity for passengers to perform productive tasks during their commutes. However, it is estimated that motion sickness afflicts one in three adults in the United States traveling in passenger vehicles. The aim of their project is to design, build, and test a motion sickness mitigation system such as an active seat, active restraint, active passenger stimuli, and active productivity interface.

Mechanical engineers at the University of California, San Diego invented a robot designed to scoot along utility lines, searching for damage and other problems that require repairs. Made of off-the-shelf electronics and plastic parts printed on an inexpensive 3D printer, the SkySweeper prototype could be scaled up for less than $1,000, making it significantly more economical than the two models of robots currently used to inspect power lines.

Detail of a large battery cell for testing at the Lu Lab at the George G. Brown Laboratories building on the North Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Tuesday, May 31, 2022.
To understand how batteries operate over a lifetime they must be cycled through being charged and discharged thousands of times. Lu said, "“We can now use machine learning technology to dramatically accelerate battery testing and optimization.”

Paul Schrems, Mechanical Engineering alumnus, and Nicholas Turnbull, current Mechanical Engineering student, demonstrate use of their innovation, TurtleCell, at the TechArb in Ann Arbor, MI on January 30, 2013.
TurtleCell is a smart phone case with retractable earbuds attached as part of the case, rather than external earbuds.

Portrait of David Kwabi, mechanical engineering assistant professor, at the Battery Lab in the Michigan Memorial Phoenix Project on the North Campus of the University of Michingan in Ann Arbor on Wednesday, August 10, 2022.
Kwabi is the primary investigator on this project which seeks to help with global water scarcity struggles. He and three mechanical engineering colleagues were award a ME Research Innovation Pilot grant as they continue working toward an energy-efficient electrochemical system to remove sodium chloride from brackish and sea water.

This is a detail of the Hamilton Standard Hydromatic Propellor, the type installed on the DC-3 in the background. This exhibit is an international mechanical engineering historical landmark. The variable-pitch aircraft propeller allows for the adjustment of the blades in flight, or even feathering the blades in the event of an engine failure to minimize drag. Variable pitch optimizes the engine's power. This development was especially valuable during World War II.
