The HeadCount project aims to develop a robust and user-friendly system that can provide real-time estimates of the number of people in a given area. Our team developed a GUI capable of processing both pre-set and live images and video, and used a Raspberry Pi with a thermal sensor and regular camera sensor to help…

The Standalone Hybrid Audio Processing System is a device designed to provide musicians and sound engineers, both new and experienced with audio production, with a single platform containing a variety of effects for the user to manipulate incoming audio with. The system combines analog circuits with a digital signal processing controller to allow for a…

We’ve designed a smart control system for an electronically controlled window covering designed to aid the heating and cooling systems in existing homes. The system takes local weather data and combines that with sensor readings to determine the optimal control state. To aid the efficiency goal we have a power system that minimizes the need…

GridScout is a smart data collection and model creation tool for electric power distribution systems that allows for rapid in-field distribution network modeling during equipment installation and maintenance via a mobile device application operated by technicians and other utility personnel. Overall functionality of the application is achieved through means of cellular assisted geolocation, development of…

Simulate a grid environment using Grid2op python package that is dominated by a renewable power generation source and create a friendly HMI that can be used to monitor the variability of power generation which in turn will improve the reliability of the power grid.

Our project is a robotic explorer prototype made for the hypothesized surface of the asteroid Psyche. The asteroid would be the closest example of a planetary core for us to study. The prototype was made to combat the low gravity and hypothesized metallic surface using embedded magnets in the tracked wheels.  Video Research poster View…

This project aims to use analog memristive chips to perform more efficient image recognition. However, conductance drift due to radiation greatly decreases its accuracy. By using techniques to compensate for drift and noise, we are able to improve its accuracy drastically for applications in space where radiation can be a problem. Video Research poster View…

QFOTONS is an investigation into reducing loss in photonic quantum systems for quantum communication, encryption and error correction. The approach is to improve upon quantum tomography schemes by reducing the number of measurements required to reconstruct a quantum state, saving time and compute power. QFOTONS demonstrates the improved tomography method using theoretical simulation in MATLAB…

Our project is the design of a light-weight, portable, solar PV system equipped with a battery that has a collapsing mechanism built in. This mechanism reduces the system’s profile, making it more streamlined in order to reduce the mechanical stress induced from high speed winds created by hurricanes, tornados and severe thunderstorms. Demo Day Zoom…

Our project involved designing a power system for a future hypothetical Psyche rover mission. Our goal was to create a reliable and economical power system solution for short duration scientific exploration missions on the surface of Psyche with potential for mission extension with its solar based generation system.
