Abstract -A Roomba for boards For our ECE 4760 final project we created a board climbing robot capable of cleaning the board autonomously. The robot uses neodymium magnets to stick to the board and moves across it with two continuous servo motors. It has bumper sensors on all four sides and keeps track of its

Introduction Our project is a novel hand held controller in which we use an accelerometer to wirelessly control the motion of a Parrot AR Drone Quadricopter. Rationale: The main idea of our project was building a cool glove controller for a flying platform, a quadrotor in this case, which would give the user a different

Introduction Mister Gloves is a wireless USB gesture input system that enables a person to use a computer by performing intuitive hand and finger motions in the air. While wearing a glove controller on the right hand, the user can move the cursor by forming a pointing gesture and click by curling the index finger

Introduction We created a wearable game controller that uses accelerometers to acquire action of the hand and then maps an action to an arbitrary keystroke. The types of actions we are trying to recognize should be suitable as input control for video games. We placed 3 z-axis accelerometers on tips of the thumb, the index

Introduction This project is implemented with a glove, resembling a conducting baton that analyzes gestures and interprets them into musical elements. Der Kapellmeister is a simple tool that tests a user’s ability in basic conducting, using a real conducting baton. As a user performs a gesture, the tool will display the tempo, time signature, and

Introduction Our project is a twenty four and half inch aluminum frame robotic arm with four degrees of freedom. In our project we made the arm the second player in the classic game of Tic-Tac-Toe to demonstrate its programmable repeatable motion. The arm consists of five servo motors, four to control the motion and one

Introduction The TriWheeler is a radio-controlled robot with three wheels. The lack of the fourth wheel is far from the only thing that renders it distinctively different from typical radio-controlled units. In addition to the capability of being freely controlled with a remote control, The TriWheeler has a smart autonomous mode that allows the unit
