Model Artificial Pancreas Science Project

Dr. Ben Finio introduces a model artificial pancreas project using Arduino to simulate a feedback control system. The project involves mixing distilled and tap water to represent blood and insulin, respectively. The video explains diabetes, feedback control, and the design of a model system. It demonstrates how to use a circuit to measure voltage as a proxy for blood glucose levels and shows how an automatic feedback system can be created using a pump controlled by Arduino.

What challenges might arise when measuring the voltage in the system, and how can they be addressed?

What is the significance of the target voltage in the feedback control system?

Discuss the importance of mixing the liquids in the feedback control system.

How does the project demonstrate the concept of feedback control in engineering?
