Student + Other Design Projects

project type (picture) school (competition) features

Code Red differential-drive robot Univ of Central Florida
(IEEE SoutheastCon) Navigation, IR ranging, line sensing, tone + candle detection.

Kugel-Roboter
(Par_Choir) ball robot Hochschule für Künste Bremen Poetic performance machine ("Imaginationsmaschinen"). Ball dancing in time to saxophone music.

A.C.M.E. automated highway system Univ of Central Florida Autonomous vehicle navigation, combining vehicle and model highway, with microcontrollers, receivers, beacon transmitters, magnetic sensors.

MECH772 Computer-Aided Engineering Red River College This course is designed to keep students current with the rapidly changing technology of computers and related application software - the primary tool in a mechanical engineering technologist s profession. The course fosters 'initial training' in conjunction with 'continuous self-learning'. Formal lectures are replaced by discussions focused on subject matter and projects. Students will be exposed to application software used in mechanical technology, the aim being to stimulate performance, optimize design, and speed production of mechanical systems.

ME106 Fundamentals of Mechatronics San Jose State Univ Application of the latest techniques in precision mechanical engineering, controls theory, computer science, and electronics to the design process to create more functional and adaptable products. Analog + digital electronics, motors, microcontrollers, sensors, software, C programming, Matlab.

6-Legged Robot [2] senior project CalPoly, San Luis Obispo The six-legged robot will be able to walk on rough terrain, walk up steep slopes, and walk up stairs autonomously. (XSCC20).

Dynamic Biped Walker thesis project CalTech Biped robot with real-time stabilizing control, datastreaming at 115.2. (MSCC20).

Melanie Hexapod Walker CLAWAR - Int'l Conf. on Climbing and Walking Robots Hexapod walker with 3-DOF legs. (MSCC20).
