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

Introduction Our final project in ECE 476 is a mobile robot with a developed neural network such that it evolves to avoid collisions into a circular vertical white wall while traveling at the fastest speed and straightest line possible without human intervention or external computers. The completion of this project required extensive capacity and application

Introduction Our final project is a music synthesizer that is capable of producing a variety of musical sounds, by modify, the attack, decay, sustain, release times, and applying special effects such as a low pass filter or a halftone shifter. Our original interest for this project came from one of our TA’s (Idan Beck) while

Introduction This project implements a microcontroller based temperature regulator which can be controlled via the Ethernet port on any common personal computer. As the world becomes more networked, the power of our ability to communicate with many different systems instantly continues to prove it’s worth in maximizing utility and convenience. The common consumer now has

Introduction This project implements a system that translates Morse Code to text and speech and translates text to Morse Code. With our limited experience with Morse Code, our first task was to do some research on the components of Morse Code and the standards associated with it. After we familiarized ourselves with Morse Code, our

Introduction Our device is an impedance analyzer that determines the complex impedance of any R-C circuit within an impedance range. Our original plan for creating this device was to develop a body fat measurer, a portable device that could allow users to monitor their health at their convenience. However due to device limitations we were

Introduction This project creates a programmable device that can control a DVD player on scheduled times by sending infrared signals. The uControl allows the user to control their DVD player as if they are using a remote control. However, unlike remote controls, uControl allows the user to program a sequence of button pushes that will
