  • Antenna Subreflector Position Control System 
    Andersen, Sydney (2001)
    The goal of this project was to design a position control system capable of compensating for misalignment in an antenna subreflector's position. To do this, a scaled-down system was used for testing. A model of a radio ...
  • Demonstrating the Use of Multicore Optical Fiber for Measuring Two-Axis Bending and Torsion 
    Sohn, Nicholas (2013)
    A theoretical model for measuring two-axis bending and longitudinal twisting of a beam is presented and implemented. Shifts in the two-dimensional far field transmission fringes generated by a four-core optical fiber are ...
  • Simultaneous Localization and Mapping 
    Ryan, Gabriel; Roelofs, Rebecca (2013)
    In mobile robot navigation, Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) involves building a map of an unknown environment and determining the robot's position in the map at the same time. Several variations of the SLAM ...
  • Pulse Oximetry using White Light 
    Shaban, Maher (2013)
    This report presents the theory behind pulse oximetry - the measurement of oxygen saturation levels via the interaction of light and hemoglobin - while investigating the design of contemporary pulse oximeters as well. ...
  • Energy from Switchgrass: Bio-Mass Conversion Analysis 
    Prymak, Eugene (2013)
    A model is presented for the production of switchgrass and its conversion to bio-oil using fast pyrolysis. Switchgrass is a leading energy crop because of its high biomass yield in a variety of soil conditions. For ...
  • pyGesture - A Python library for Gesture Classification using Dynamic Time Warping and Regression-based approaches 
    Taschuk, Greg (2013)
    The ability to interact with computers through methods other than keyboard and mouse has begun to shape the modern computing experience. Gesture Recognition shows significant promise as it offers an intuitive and personal ...
  • Designing A Hydrogen Fuel Cell Powered Vehicle: To compete in the Shell Eco-Marathon 
    Verhasselt, Eric (2013)
    The goal of this project is to design and build an environmentally beneficial prototype of a vehicle that operates efficiently on hydrogen fuel cells. The vehicle will be constructed to the specifications set forth so that ...
  • Wireless Energy Transfer Through Strongly Coupled Resonances 
    Liang, Hongliang (Joe) (2013)
    Using two 16cm diameter coils tuned to resonant frequency in a strongly coupled regime, I investigate various properties of this system that affect power output such as frequency, load resistance, and distance between ...
  • Multigrid CHOMP with Local Smoothing 
    He, Keliang; Martin, Elizabeth (2013)
    In recent years, CHOMP has found many applications in robotics research, as it combines motion planning and optimization. Its flexibility in initial trajectory enables it to solve many complex problems without pre- or ...
  • The Pursuit of Electronic Shifting on Bicycles 
    Zhai, Xignda (2013)
    My goal is to reproduce the functionalities of the system and demonstrate the simple concepts behind it. However, it is not my intention to mimic the two groupsets in every detail and completely replace them. The amount ...
  • Wireless Vehicle Booking and Tracking System 
    Bielenberg, Ames (2013)
    This project aims to implement the technical infrastructure of a carsharing program. This is implemented using an embedded computer on-board the vehicle, and a server program running remotely.
  • Gesture Controlled Virtual Reality Desktop 
    Cheney, Jordan; Ancona, Davis (2014)
    Today, all computers are interfaced through a one or two dimensional input controller such as a keyboard, mouse, or touch screen. This, however, is not how humans normally perceive and interact with their environment. Thus, ...
  • Cellular Serial Link between Microcontrollers 
    Fortunato, Chris (2014)
    This project creates a serial data link using a voice call between cell phones. This is done via the creation of a simple modem that uses On-Off Keying (OOK) as the modulation scheme, and an (8, 12) Hamming code for error ...
  • Solar Scoreboard 
    Ruben, Cody (2014)
    The main result of this project was the design of an electrical system that powers Swarthmore's baseball scoreboard using solar energy. This energy is harvested through 2 Kyocera KC130TM photovoltaic panels. These are ...
  • Solar Tracking System 
    Rosenblatt, Anne; Aaron, Nicole (2014)
    Our goal was to create a solar tracking system that eliminated the need for manual adjustments and did not continuously rotate without regard for weather conditions. We decided we would accomplish this by programming a ...
  • Design and Feasibility Study of Personal Ornithopters 
    Abel, Imoleayo (2014)
    While personal jet packs may not be practical, an electromechanically-assisted set of wings may be. No modern heavier-than-air craft flaps its wings; conversely, no bird, bat or insects relies upon fixed wings. Bio-mimicry ...
  • Alternative Actuators for Braille Devices 
    Mubvuma, Tinashe Harry (2014)
    Affordable Braille actuators were designed, STL printed and tested for functionality, for the purpose of creating full page refreshable Braille display and stand-alone Braille devices such as calculators. Mechanical actuators ...
  • Designing a Ceramic Printhead for a RepRap 3-D Printer 
    Arnone, Luke (2014)
    Building on an open-source RepRap 3D printer platform, an extruder for porcelain clay paste is developed and tested. Using a syringe-based, air pressure-driven extruder, objects are fabricated at a 3.3 mm resolution and ...
  • Design and Construction of a Vision-Based Golf Simulator 
    Knapp, Kyle; Ferchill, Price (2014)
    For this project, an affordable computer-vision based golf simulator was designed and constructed. The stroboscopic photography technique was implemented to capture high-speed images of golf balls being struck. The images ...
  • Bluetooth Range Extender for Audio 
    Wondimu, Yeab (2014)
    One of the common uses of Bluetooth is to allow for the playback of audio from a phone or other music device out to Bluetooth speakers. However, for most Bluetooth devices, the range of this connection is limited to about ...
