Mission Archive
Each mission starts with a signal and asks what kind of intelligence, interface, or machine response can make that signal useful.
Research Discovery / Student-Faculty Collaboration
We are working on GradPath, a research discovery and collaboration prototype for the UNM/CNM App Contest. Students can explore research ideas, find relevant papers, and discover researchers; faculty can explore potential student collaborators.
Currently in development, with a browser demo for research requests and student-faculty conversations.
Accessibility / Embedded Systems / HCI
A wearable haptic obstacle-detection belt for blind and visually impaired people. The prototype uses three Time-of-Flight sensors, Arduino processing, MOSFET motor switching, and six vibration motors to translate obstacle location into waist feedback.
Open Case Study
Speculative Intelligence / AI / Audio
A prototype for personalized dog-human communication research. It is not a magical dog-to-English translator; it is framed as an intent-estimation system using dog audio, owner context, labels, and feedback.
AI Agents / Workflow Automation
A practical support operations app using AI agents to triage and respond to support issues. This mission shows applied AI system building: workflow design, task routing, and response automation.
Autonomous Systems / Robotics
Robotics and autonomous-systems experiments that support Kritim's long-term direction in physical AI, sensor-driven machines, and intelligent systems that act in the real world.
