Project on Thermistor Respiratory Monitor

For our project, we wanted to create a solution to a real-world problem. Many biomedical devices, such as commercially available respiratory monitors, are designed for the developed world and require a stable power-supply to operate. We wanted to implement a solution that is adaptable to different environments.

Our device uses several concepts we learned this semester in College. We use analog-to-digital conversions to sample readings from both the thermistor and the battery, pulse-width modulation to generate a signal for the speaker, and timers to switch between tasks. Our implantation also includes various analog circuitry for voltage regulation and signal amplification. Developing a robust and accurate respiratory monitor served to be a challenging, yet rewarding experience.

Project on Integrated Farming System using Microcontroller

People heavily rely on large-scale farms to grow and ship produce to their local grocery stores. These farms are not always domestic and can be located on the other side of the world. This has become an issue today due to the high transportation costs associated with bringing copious amounts of produce to crowded urban areas as well as to areas that cannot sustain themselves with the local land. Furthermore, the preservatives that are required to allow produce to make it to market inflate this cost. In addition to these economic costs, there are the environmental impacts associated with transporting across these distances. 

Integrated Farming System (IFS) Project’s goal is to solve these issues by bringing the farms to these areas through an automated farming system. This system will be enclosed either in its own facility or housed within another existing building. The key is to minimize the amount of real estate required for these systems relative to how much land would be needed by a comparable farm. The constructed model focused on the caring aspects of the overall system. This prototype has proven the feasibility of the system’s design to save space while reducing crop costs.

Integrated Farming System (IFS) would be able to automatically seed, care for and harvest crops without any user assistance. Although not large, the prototype shows that this overall system is plausible as well as expandable due to its modular design.

Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Design Project

Autonomous vehicles are increasingly investigated for use in oceanographic studies, underwater surveillance, and search operations. Research currently being done in the area of autonomous underwater craft is often hindered by expense. This project seeks to complete the construction, optimization, and control software development of an inexpensive underwater vehicle. During the course of the project all of the vehicle’s mechanical and electrical subsystems were completed. Propeller-driven primary thrusters using a magnetically coupled drive system were optimized and manufactured. A battery powered electrical subsystem was also designed and installed on the vehicle. A simulation of the vehicle’s control algorithm was developed in MATLAB and several full vehicle tests were conducted.

Project on Wireless message Communicator

 The main function of these devices is to send and receive text messages to and from another device. It is very much like communicating with a walkie-talkie, except with text and smoother communication scheme. We chose this as our final project because we were inspired by the recent technological trend in wireless communication systems. Also, we thought it could be a cool gadget for our cars so that the cars can communicate with each other on a road trip. (Obviously it is not intended for the driver to use.)

Autonomous Smart Trash system Project/Thesis

We have designed and built a 'proof of concept' prototype for Project Green Stations, an externally funded student group with the following mission statement:

Project Green Stations is all about changing the way people see the environment. Imagine the go-green movement as a brand. Solar panels, Toyota Priuses, and waste receptacles are all points of interaction with your idea of going green.

By designing elegant, simple, and technologically advanced waste bins, we improve one element that affects that perception; one element that almost all students, faculty, and staff at University see every day.

We plan to have the first full prototype manufactured over the summer and ready to go before August. Over the next academic year, we will be looking to further refine the aesthetics and the hardware to best fit our needs. The expectation is by the beginning of the 2013-2014 academic year, we will begin full scale implementation.

PID Controller on FPGA for Temperature Control

The objective of this project was to implement a digital PID controller on an FPGA for a control application. We designed a controller to track and maintain a set point temperature of a water tank with lowest possible overshoot while maintaining maximum possible rise time. Multiple controllers and heaters were used to efficiently control the temperature. We used MATLAB to design our controller and develop a model of our system from experimental data. The heaters were driven using a PWM signal from the FPGA that was amplified using BUZ 73 transistors.
The motivation behind using FPGA to implement a PID controller rather than microcontrollers or DSPs is because it provides a good balance between performance and cost. Using microcontrollers, although they may be cheaper do not provide enough processing power to effectively perform complex calculations in real-time. Digital signal processors can implement complex algorithms quickly but are expensive.

Project On Radar Simulation with Optical Sensor

This is a project  on radar simulation with optical sensor and in this system we are simulating the RADAR function with optical beam. We are providing an IR transmitter and receiver in place of RF transmitter and receiver. If any object, reflecting the IR rays back to receiver can be detected. This transmitter and receiver are placed on rotating antenna to detect angle of the object.

project on Bomb and Fire detection Robot

This is a good Robotics final year project on "bomb and fire detection robot" foe Electronics students which aims at designing and executing the bomb ,fire and obstacle detection. The IR sensor is a pair sensors has a receiver and a transmitter sensor. The transmitter sends the, and if the receiver senses any of the transmitted signal it indicates the presence of an obstacle. A micro-controller is used to control all operations. According to the motor operations the robot will operate as specified in program.

Project On Sonar SensCap

This device is  to be worn on the head and around the hip to aid the visually impaired maneuver around obstacles. It provides information about obstacles near and around the head. When used with a cane, the user will have a complete sense of the topology of surrounding environment. This  device decreases the dependence of the visually impaired on others and increases their safety.
The device uses two ultrasonic sensors and a microcontroller to determine the proximity of the user to obstacles. The user has the option to choose between two modes of user feedback-headphones or vibrating motors. Both provide information about the location of and distance to an obstacle. The harder the motors vibrate or the louder the sound is, the closer the user is to an obstacle.

GSM mobile based car control Project

A   remote   control   vehicle   is    defined   as     any mobile  device  that  is  controlled by  a  means  that  does  not restrict its motion with an origin external to the device. This is often   a         radio  control     device,   cable      between  control  and vehicle,  or  an  infrared  controller.  A remote control  vehicle (Also called  as RCV)  differs  from  a robot  in that  the  RCV is always controlled by a human and takes no positive action autonomously.

One of the key technologies which underpin this field is that of remote vehicle control. It is vital that a vehicle should be capable of proceeding accurately to a target area; maneuvering  within that area to   fulfill    its    mission  and returning equally accurately and safely to base.
