IRON MANdemystified

Terrence Mak2 Sep 2014

Why here?

• Hero - Iron Man• Tony Stark• Graduate from MIT• Inherent Tech Firm• Pepper• Not only looks cool,

but smart and …

Engineers - Same Questions

• Challenges (Why bother?)

• Who knows what (What is the best way?)

• My way (Usually is the best way)

• Evaluation (How does it work?)

Challenge

If there is no problem, there is no engineer.

Shrapnel

Engineering solution

• Problem– Shrapnel, walking dead– Still a lot in the body

• Who knows what– Distance to the heart– Magnet

• How– Electromagnetism– Car battery (5kg)

• Other concern?

Quick Summary• In this course, you will learn the engineering

ways of thinking, talking and doing– Challenges (Why bother?)

– Who knows what (What is the best way?)

– My way (Usually is the best way)

– Evaluation (How does it work?)

How real is Iron Man?

Can we do what Iron Man does?

How to make a brain-controlled suit?

Augmented Reality

How does the suit can be adaptive?“Sometimes, you need to run before

you learn how to walk!”

EEG – listening to your brain

You are not alone

Student Project 2013/14

Can we do what Iron Man does?

Yes, we can!

Imagination vs Inspiration

Virtual vs Abstraction

Cross-field vs Integration
