Project Title: Southeastcon 2023 Hardware Competition
Required EE Area(s) of Expertise: 1) Programming and Microprocessor (Sensor reading, picking, moving, throwing, placing, and path searching) 2) Robotics and Control (Hardware design and controlling the hardware)
Brief Project Description: Develop a robot that operates inside Duck Gardens (an imaginary theme park in Orlando) in which the roads are damaged or washed away due to hurricane. The Garden has Manatees and alligators’ pens which are separated but adjacent to each other. Your robot should be able to navigate the park feeding hungry manatees, feeding the alligators, moving ducks back to the pond, rebuilding statues, and placing remaining pieces in the recycling bins. Your robot may end their cleanup by starting the daily fireworks. https://attend.ieee.org/southeastcon-2023/wp-content/uploads/sites/392/IEEE-SoutheastCon-2023-Hardware-Competition-Rules-v1.4-Presentation.pdf
Major system products expected from this project: An Automatic Robot with following functions: 1) Sensor Reading on paths and objects 2) Decision making based on the read data 3) picking, moving, and placing small objects in certain order and 4) optimal path finding.
Parts of the project that “Engineering Design” is expected (e.g., mathematical calculations and/or verification simulations): 1) Programming skills on Decision making based on the read data 2) Hardware design for the execution of the command
The level of support (Time: technical guidance, materials, computing, financial, etc.) for the project. If no financial support will be provided, please offer an estimate of the Materials Cost: 1) Technical Advice from the faculty advisor (based on students request) 2) Access to IEEE students’ facility 3) Budget for Hardware and Parts (via student organization) 4) Budget for conference participation (if selected)
