Happy “Hey Day” to our juniors! 🥳
Hey Day is an annual Penn tradition celebrating the transition of juniors to seniors with red shirts, straw hats and canes.
Meet Polaire, a MEAM Senior Design team building an HVAC inspection robot.
Polaire is built to allow operators to remotely inspect HVAC components inside the ductwork, allowing workers to see if there’s mold, particulate matter or components that need repair. With magnetic wheels, the robot can navigate both vertical and horizontal sections of ductwork. Ultimately, the plan is to also have a sensing suite, allowing works to view temperature and humidity through a camera on the robot.
MEAM Senior Design Day is Monday, April 13, 2026.
