We also have a small number of motes (sensors+cpu+wireless) that can be used to form autonomous sensor networks. A modest budget is available to each team in 489 to order other components. Getting Started With Projects 15

Some Previous Projects 8/29/2006 Getting Started With Projects

A walking robot (2004 -2005 Fall) A walking robot, with two full-degree legs, is designed in the semester. The selfmade robot has two long legs, two big feet, and many sensors. The robot is controlled by a laptop through the parallel port. The students finished all the mechanical, hardware and software work. A good try! Getting Started With Projects 17

Getting Started With Projects 18

A computer workstation monitor system (2004 -2005 Fall) Based on Altera board. With a humidity sensor and some middleware, it can monitor live temperature and humidity in the working environment. Getting Started With Projects 19

Previous Projects Mc. Touch - Touch Interface Ordering Device (2005 -2006 Fall) Developed base on E-BOX. It is a wireless client/server system which allows the customer of a typical fast food restaurant to place an order at their own pace using a user friendly touch screen interface. The system uses FLASH interfaces that communicate with the base station through a wireless Bluetooth connection. Getting Started With Projects 20

Getting Started With Projects 21

Recycle Nation - An Environmental Improvement Program for Incentive Based Recycling (2005 -2006 Spring) Developed based on E-box and RFID technology. The project provides a mobile vehicular system to sort the garbage into recyclable and non-recyclable and further into metallic and nonmetallic items. The system then weighs different kinds of garbage based on address, thus providing proper monetary compensation to the consumer for beneficial recycling habits. All the statistical information is sent to the base station through wireless communication. Getting Started With Projects 22

Weight Sensor Happy consumer RFID tagged receptacles RFID Reader Mobile Vehicle Ebox (Local Storage) and Wireless Bridge Getting Started With Projects Server (Central Storage) 23

Trash Master - System for Separation of Recyclables (2005 -2006 Spring) Developed based on E-Box and RFID Tech. The system can recognize glass, ferrous metal, aluminum, and plastics from recyclable trash and put them into different bins, as they are moving on a conveyor belt. Their system can greatly improve the efficiency of recycling by accurate sorting. Getting Started With Projects 24

Getting Started With Projects 25

Automated Warehouse Retrieval Robot (2005 -2006 Spring) Developed based on Handy Board and E-Box Automated Retrieval of Warehouse RFID Aided Navigation Wireless Communication with Server - For Dynamic Scheduling - For Traffic Control Getting Started With Projects 26
