This report will present the process of design and analysis of a desk accessory that will function as a nightstand, sitting desk, lap desk, and standing desk. It will also present the design and analysis for an automation system for the EMBED. The bed automation system features two linear actuators attached to tabs that are welded to the bed frame and EMBED frame. The desk accessory features a linear actuator for the vertical movement and housed in a square tube attached via hinge to the EMBED frame. A shaft inside a flange bearing facilitates rotation of the desktop. The maximum deflection for the desktop for a 60 lbf load is 3.732 mm. The total cost for the desk accessory is 622.03 CAD and the bed automation system is 568.78 CAD.
