In our final project for ME327, we developed a prototype to provide haptic guidance in group cycling. Using a gyroscope to estimate angles and feedback control, we can nudge a user to tilt varying degrees in either direction. This can help with accident avoidance in group rides, where a following cyclist may be unaware that a lead cyclist is turning.

Skills Developed: haptics, inertial measurement units, signal processing, feedback control, graphics, Arduino
Greatest Failure: keeping the prototype in such a sketchy form - next time, we'd make sure to spend more time making the prototype feel good and increasing the prototype's durability!
Greatest Moment: getting to watch our study subjects use the system - it was a ton of fun and a great learning experience.
