Superior Designs, Inc.Spring 2010 Approved Projects(for delivery August 2010) Instructor: Mike O’Dell
Apartment Security System • Design and develop a system that detects, record and reports unauthorized vehicle entry. • Implement camera (or other) detection mechanism to identify vehicle and compare against database of thoise authorized • Integrate vision processing and database mechanisms to solve real-world problem. • Sponsor: Ms. Judy Astrello, Cooper Hill Apprtments, Bedford, TX
Robotic Connect-4 Game • Develop a simple robotic device to play connect-4 game. • Camera detects board state and s=directs device to select and drop correct chip in correct position on board • Integrate camera hardware and vision processing software and AI solution logic to solve the game. • Potential Sponsor: CSE Vision Lab (Dr. Athitsos)
Generic Autonomous Vehicle Control Module • Design and develop a sensing and control system for any hobby remote controlled vehicle that uses a standard RC receiver • Control module communicates with vehicle’s actuators/controls using standard (PPM) signal. • Integrate embedded computer, PPM module, actuators, GPS, etc. to control generic vehicle • Potential: a full blown autonomous UGV with obstacle avoidance in a matter of minutes • Potential Sponsor: (Chris McMurrough??)
Directional Sound Receiver • Design and develop a system consisting of an array of omni-directional microphones. • Adjust delays in the audio streams from microphones to reinforce sound/suppress noise. • Develop user interface to monitor and control speaker selection. • Potential application: speaker selection in a conference room/meeting • Sponsor: Umair Sadiq/UTA Lab??
Weather Balloon Data Collector • Design and develop a system to be attached to a weather balloon to collect environmental data (position, altitude, temperature, pressure, humidity, etc). • Module should also be able to detach from the aircraft via remote command, timer, or upon detection of a specified event. • Data collector module deploys parachute and detection device to allow recovery. • Potential Sponsor: UTA GeoScience Lab??
Digital Audio Recorder (DAR) • Develop an audio version of a DVR (a.k.a. “Audio Tivo”) for the radio • Integrate/implement hardware to store and manipulate digital audio stream for “real-time” playback • Implement “rewind”, “fast forward,” “jump to live,” and other functions similar to those found on a DVR • Potential Sponsor: Radio Shack, or local technology company
