Required Skills for EE students:
- PLC programming
- Battery sizing
- Electrical power/energy calculations
- Actuators and Motors

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.

Dear Researcher,

Percept

Imagine the following scenario. You are an engineer doing a factory inspection. You see some pipes. You take out your mobile device and hold it out in front of you. Your device screen is now an AR display showing the statistics of the heat sensors embedded within. You also see statistics gathered by the sensor e.g. a temperature plot

Solar-Powered Water filtration System

We aim to create a portable, solar powered system that can be used to test the purity of water and has the capability to pump and filter it. The system will take note of the amount of contaminants in the water and will pump it through a filter into another chamber where it will be sanitized using UV light.

The data from the water purity sensor will be able be viewed on an LCD screen

These features may change as we proceed with building our prototype.

Solar Maximum Power Point Tracking

Project Idea: Add a solar panel with an MPPT (maximum power point tracking) controller and lithium ion batteries to a golf cart, then compare to traditional lead acid and other market options. Controller (Pi) will match the panel voltage to battery voltage through a DC/DC converter to maximize power.

Website Monitoring

This project is about helping Amazon third party sellers by optimising their advertising performance to assist in lowering the cost of advertisement. By utilizing the request data from Amazon server, analyze the data and develop a program that will filter to the seller keywords that customers use to find their products. In addition, we plan to develop a function that will add positive keywords to their Amazon seller central. Along with block out negative keywords that would not help with selling their commodity on Amazon.

Mono MicroGrid Project

This project is a study co-sponsored by Southern California Edison which will investigate various aspects of a microgrid in which Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) serve a significant portion of customer load. These resources include hydro generation, photovoltaic (solar) generation, and energy storage. When completed, the Demo-E project will have tested several working scenarios and will demonstrate an operating microgrid which comprises multiple DERs; all managed by a dedicated control system.
