An FPGA-driven artificial intelligence traffic-light system uses real-time logic on the FPGA and sensor data processed by an STM32 microcontroller to adjust light patterns based on actual traffic conditions. The FPGA handles fast decision updates, while the STM32 manages timing and input signals, working together to reduce wait times and keep traffic flowing smoothly. Video…

This capstone project explores the performance and efficiency of the Rust programming language in real-time environments. Specifically, the project compares Rust to C and C++ by implementing real-time applications on a Raspberry Pi. The study measures various performance metrics such as execution time, RAM/CPU usage, and latency to determine if Rust can be a viable…

Low-cost guitar pedal with reconfigurable digital core that can process full, compound effects chains. Video Research poster View the poster Sponsor Advisor Michael GoryllAssociate ProfessorSchool of Electrical, Computer and Energy [email protected]

Our project demonstrates an electronic closed loop tire pressure regulation system that uses internal heating instead of mechanical pumps to maintain optimal pressure. A pressure sensor, microcontroller, and MOSFET controlled heating pads work together to detect underinflation and raise internal temperature to restore target pressure. This system showcases practical embedded control, power electronics, and thermodynamic…

UPS system which explores the use of sodium-ion batteries as opposed to the standard Lithium-Ion. Sodium being cheaper and less dangerous for use in batteries means that this emerging field is likely to have major benefits for industry use. This project presents what may be the most ideal use of these batteries, that is, being…

Our project is a low frequency wireless MEMS flow valve sensor designed to assess the functionality of hydrocephalus shunt systems noninvasively. By transmitting a 200 kHz signal modulated at 1kHz to an implanted antiparallel diode assembly, the system generates a 600 kHz third harmonic when the valve is open, which is detected and analyzed using…
