Robot Programming and Control

Sponsor: Astronics Test Systems

Website: https://www.astronics.com

Project: Astronics has partnered with FANUC Robotics and will be using the LR Mate 200iD, a robotic arm controlled by 6 axis providing X, Y, Z , yaw, pitch, and roll movement. It can be mounted with various end effectors that will manipulate an object.

Robot Coding and Control

Sponsor: Astronics Test Systems

Project Goal: Develop codes in Visual Studio and control the movement of a 6-axis robotic arm.

UAV Forge - Avionics

This team is the Avionics branch of UAV Forge. As the Avionics we, we provide for all the hardware and software needs onboard the unmanned aircraft. This includes waypoint navigation, communication with the ground station, sensor installation, and local data processing. This year, UAV Forge will be based on the SUAS competition happening next summer in Maryland. Our goal will be to us onboard cameras and processors to detect certain patterns on the ground while the UAV is in flight. The inforamtion from the UAV should then be relayed back to the ground station and competition judges.

UAV Forge - Ground Station

Team Mentor: Professor Haithem Taha, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering

Background

MagLev Model Train

Page under construction.

 

Basically, our project idea is to build a model train that levitates through magnetics (MagLev). Our project was inspired by a model train prototype developed by Launchpoint Technologies.

Background

Remote Controlled OC1 (1-Man Outrigger Canoe) to Aid Blind Athletes

Visually impaired athletes have a limited number of options for outdoor activities.  The community has adaptive sports but even fewer sports in which they can participate alongside other sighted athletes.  Outrigger canoe paddling is one of those options.  In its most common form, crews of six athletes paddle as a team in 40 foot canoes.  However, there are also many opportunities for those looking to paddle OC1 versions - canoes that only have 1 seat.

Automated toy car for tennis ball collection

Details:  A toy car with multiple cameras that can detect tennis balls. Then it will move toward tennis balls and use its mechanical arm to pick the ball and put it into a collecting box.
Purpose: In tennis training, tennis balls are everywhere.
