Robotics & Embedded Systems Objectives

​​​​​​​​

• 1. Designed and completed robotic and embedded systems solutions that apply to real-world situations and challenges. In this case, we made an IoT environment. Some examples of devices we made that apply to those are Smart lights, Locks, speakers, cameras, swarm bot, and command center.  

​​

• 2. Used Esp32 Dev boards to program the Smart lights, Locks, and swarm bot. Speakers, cameras, and the command center utilized a raspberry pi.​​​

​​

• 3. Learned better PCB design using EasyEDA from Ke'Ondrae during this production studio designing PCBs and schematics for Esp32 dev boards.​

​

• 4. Used transducers on the Esp dev boards. Utilized solenoid actuators for the locks. Used simultaneous hardware with the raspberry pi systems that link to the website commands and Esp32's for telling Smart lights, Locks, speakers, cameras, swarm bot, and command center what to do. 

​

• 5. Designed and analyzed real-time embedded systems, including advanced digital logic design, signal processing, and high-speed digital systems. All of these devices respond to the server with current status updates. Smart lights, Locks, speakers, cameras, swarm bot and command center.

​

• 6.  Implemented and evaluated algorithms and methods enabling autonomy in the swarm bot.

Description:

The IoT Lab was a production studio project where we turned the lab into a Smart Lab. We made all the devices and installed them. These include Smart lights, Locks, speakers, cameras, swarm bot, and command center. My part of this project was to prototype the devices. 

Digital Maker & Fabrication Objectives

​​

• 1. Learned from Ke'Ondrae's process of getting a patent.​ I prototyped the devices used in the lab.  

​​

• 2. Demonstrated the ability to evaluate trends in design principles and apply them to the form and function of the devices. Creating the prototypes of all the devices. 

​​

• 3. Demonstrated the ability to evaluate material and build technique options during the creation of products and their prototypes. Creating the devices and housings by laser cut pieces and 3D printed housings. 

​

• 4. Demonstrated the ability to evaluate and implement developments within electromechanical, algorithmic, robotic, microprocessor, sensor, and other advancing technology areas while making the prototypes. 

​​

• 5. This was a production studio project​ creating an IoT environment in the UAT lab.

​​

• 6. Created Smart lights, Locks, speakers, cameras, swarm bot, and command center prototypes. This utilized PCB design, and housing creation from 3D printers and laser cutters.
