What are the best antimicrobial metals or general materials with a high tensile strength?

I’m not sure whether this is the right sub to post this in, but I’m kinda in a pickle and would appreciate some advice.

I’m building a hands-free travel bidet with the goal of creating a more accessible option for elderly and disabled users. The design aims to address some of the mobility issues that can make traditional handheld travel bidets difficult to use.

One part of the design is a clip that attaches the bidet to a toilet. However, I’m running into a bit of a hygiene concern: the clip will come into contact with public toilet seats regularly, which obviously isn’t ideal from a sanitary standpoint.

I’ve designed the bidet so that the components can be disassembled and cleaned, but I was also wondering if there’s a material, possibly a type of metal, wood, or another material with naturally antimicrobial properties that could help keep the clip as clean as reasonably possible while being used on the go.

Any advice is really appreciated!

Any recs for hand-free travel bidets for travel/on the go use? Do they exist?

Hello, I hope all is well. I am a disabled person who is going to college, and I struggle with the conventional way of cleaning ones self after using the restroom, and so a bidet is my best friend. I have been using one in my home, and plan to install one in my college dorm, my question is, are there any travel ones that I can buy that I can take anywhere, store it in my backpack, and quickly set up (this must include attaching it to the toilet) and disassemble? I have been struggling to find one, and so I thought I might as well ask this subreddit.

Sorry if this is TMI, but I am in need of assistance, so if you know anything please share. Any and all info is appreciated, thanks!

Anyone know of any good resources for learning MuJoCo?

I am doing independent research, and trying to attempt simulating slip/shear force and I planned to use MuJoCo. My issue is that I am having a tough time getting the hang of it, and I have seen some posts on this Sub about MuJoCo. I was wondering does anyone know of any solid tutorials, repos, or youtubers that have solid MuJoCo tutorials in Python? Any help/advice is greatly appreciated.

Any good resources for learning MuJoCo in python?

So I am doing independent research, and I wanna simulate slip/shear force. My issue is that I am having a tough time getting the hang of MuJoCo, and its vital to my research. I was wondering if anyone has any online resources, tutorials, or even some advice on how to get started? Anything would be appreciated!

What are the main engineering and medical barriers to autonomous drone CPR systems?

So I am a freshman in college, who plans to study computer science, or biomedical engineering, and had an idea for a project. I was wondering if its at all possible, or just some random, impossible idea.

The idea is a concept for a drone system that could help in cardiac arrest situations, and I’m curious if something like this would even be feasible in practice.

The idea is that the drone would use a few high-quality cameras to scan the scene and try to identify a person in need of help using computer vision (basically combining what it sees with any location/context info it has).

If it finds the right target, it would then try to land as precisely as possible near the patient using some kind of automated landing system adapted to the environment. From there, it would deploy a LUCAS mechanical CPR device.

In theory, you’d test all of this in simulation first, then gradually move into controlled real-world testing to see how reliable the detection and landing actually are.

One concern I had is whether the drone itself could stay stable during CPR, since the compressions might cause vibration or movement, so I was imagining the platform might need to be heavier or more rigid than a typical drone.

I’m mostly just wondering: does something like this actually make sense in the real world, or are there obvious issues that would make it impractical?
