Sample Class Projects Completed by Students Enrolled in ECE 5340 (Mobile Robots) in Fall 2006
Project: RoboPlot Team Members: Greg Luker and Monica Morales The main goal of this project is to plot a picture on a piece of paper using an ActivMedia robot with a pen and the necessary hardware attached. Essentially we want to build a plotter/printer that, given coordinates, plots a picture, hence the project named RoboPlot Potential applications include parking lot painting and tile laying. |

Project: Seek and Converge Team Members: Robert Mabey, Lizabeth Lee, and Scott Lefgren The object of this project is for one robot (wanderer) to wander throughout a given area and another robot (tracker) to find the moving robot. Once the wanderer is found, the tracker will follow the wanderer and will call three other robots (waiters) to converge to the wanderer. Experimental Demo #1 Experimental Demo #2 Experimental Demo #3 |
Project: Body Guard Team Members: Nathan Jack, Taylor Hoenes, and Tyson Jensen The purpose of this project is to develop an understanding of the challenges involved in autonomous formation control of multiple robots. For our project, we designed a robot control system which acquires the velocity and position information of a driving robot which it uses to track this robot in a side-by-side manner. This algorithm can be used for automated formation control of mobile robots. Wewere able to accurately follow a driving robot in a side-by-side manner by controlling only the translational and rotational velocity of the following robot. |
Project: Tri-fly Team Members: Kelly S. Lewis, Toby Johnson, Bob Silver, and Jacob Hatch This project consists of designing and building a flying autonomies robot. The robot is designed to use three propellers to lift the robot into a hovering position. The goal for this project is to have the UAV hover five feet from the ground in a stable flight.

Project: Sumo Competition Sponsored by Ball Aerospace Overview: Two autonomous robots are placed in a ring. Robots try to avoid driving out or being pushed out by the opponent. The robot that remains in the ring wins the round. 2007 Teams: Team 1: Jed Peters, Dustin Braithwaite, and Robert Hughes Team 2: Zane Larsen, Dan Zundel, Justin Ball, and Ryan Tensmeyer Team 3: Kurt Niederhauser Team 4: Varsha Bhambhani, Yongcan Cao, Shrinidhi Kaveri, and Rupa Pawanna Team 5: Competition Demo from 2006 Teams (Courtesy of Jared Bench, Nathan Sorensen, Austin Jensen, etc.) |
Project: Remote Mobile Robot Control Team Members: Eric Eborn and Cannon Melville The objective of this project was to build a GUI interface for controlling a mobile robot that used the arrow keys for control and simultaneously produced a visual representation on the screen of the robot and the room in which the robot was placed. This GUI program was also designed to make a rough mapping of the room using its sonar sensors. |
