Introduction For our project, we designed a glove that can be used to control the Cornell University robotic Snake arm thereby enabling a surgeon to remotely operate the snakearm as a colonoscope in conjunction with a vision guide system (aka TV goggles). The glove allows for movement of the arm’s segments as a whole and […]

I. Introduction We used the Wiimote’s IR tracking capability and Bluetooth to wirelessly control a robotic crane arm. The Wiimote is a powerful gadget and we wanted to build a new hack with it. Our crane is composed of three servo motors, one of which is connected to a gripper. The servos are controlled by

This project is a radio frequency receiver that will help the user the trace the direction and distance of transmitter beacon(s) operating at 433MHz frequency. In this ECE 476 final project, we have built a radio frequency receiver unit with an LCD screen that will display information about the RF signals that it is picking

Content Page 1. Introduction 1.1 Sound-Bite Our final project recreates Rush Hour as a video game that is played using a touchpad implemented using 2D electric-field (E-field) sensors. 1.2 Motivation Rush Hour appealed to us as one of the better puzzles out there. Its level of difficulty can range from simple games to hard ones, thus making

Introduction The purpose of this project was to design a dancing puppet which is musically controlled by the microcontroller. This is a simple, inexpensive dancing puppet, which can dance to any tune you want. For as little money as possible, you can bring Pinocchio to life. Pinocchio can move, twist and dance to whatever tune

Introduction Sensing in autonomous vehicles is a growing field due to a wide array of military and reconnaissance applications. The Adaptive Communications and Signals Processing Group (ACSP) research group at Cornell specializes in studying various aspects of autonomous vehicle control. Previously, ACSP has examined video sensing for autonomous control. Our goal is to build on

Objective and Background <> Objective: The gift of sight is precious; that is why we tried to model an artificial retina with the properties of color detection, saccades, and pursuit tracking. Structure of a Retina: A retina lies in the back of the eye and consists of a layer of photoreceptor cells called rods and
