SCOPE Projects

The Blue Origin SCOPE team designed and fabricated an automated thermal interface material (TIM) application machine for use in a production environment.

This year’s SCOPE team, like the 2024-2025 team joined a large interdisciplinary research team and contributed key components to proof-of-concept instructional games for K-3rd grade students developing reading skills.

Our team worked to automate a physically taxing process by designing tooling that reduces the manual strain on thumbs and improves the consistency of the quality check.

This year’s Boston Scientific SCOPE team designed and fabricated a mechanism to provide enhanced access of tools and visualization at the tip of a duodenoscope without causing unintended scope movement.

Building on a successful proof of concept from the prior year, this SCOPE team will advance an AI-powered system that uses edge computing and computer vision to automatically detect when a pedestrian intends to cross and trigger a rectangular rapid flashing beacon (RRFB) to alert drivers.

As a part of the NIH-funded HAFTRAP project, the AirPartners/Aerodyne SCOPE team created an integrated air quality measurement system that included both low and high-cost atmospheric chemistry instruments.

This year’s SCOPE team created an extensible object taxonomy framework and implemented an integrated active perception system to predict the performance of various object gripping strategies. This system can be used to enable a more diverse range of robot picking form factors and increase accuracy in warehouse operations at Amazon.

This year’s SCOPE team created a package manipulation robot, with an integrated perception system, that can be operated remotely. The robot control system can be used to remotely support Amazon associates and improve the ability to complete orders quickly.

The SCOPE team developed a custom tool with specific torque values to attach and remove avionics harness cable connectors to help decrease both the assembly time and turn-around time of the New Glenn launch vehicle.

This year's team worked to design a device to help technicians lift and transport batteries to work benches and installation locations.

In this project, our team worked closely with Blue Origin’s research and development lab to understand the standards and difficulties of PCBA rework and designed a workstation to revolutionize this process. This station is self-contained and significantly reduces lead times, allowing Blue Origin to complete all rework in-house.

The 2022-23 Brandeis SCOPE team overhauled the original Roshbash Lab FlyBox's hardware, assembly, and software, creating a robust and polished tool to track the behavior of genetically modified fruit flies over multiday periods.

The 2022-23 Bose SCOPE team worked with Bose to infuse sustainability and product circularity across its global business operations.

This year’s SCOPE team worked to create an AI-driven tool that identified opportunities to accelerate the delivery of life-changing treatments and enable data-informed rapid decision making, while limiting clinical supply process risks.

Our team was tasked with identifying opportunities for improved quantitative analysis for GCS complexity scoring. We leveraged existing data to propose a new complexity model and updated dashboard visualizations to deliver precise metrics to better inform GCS decision making.
