An Internet Of Things (Iot) Robotic Light Switch, Arsal Habib
Honors Theses
The purpose of this project was to design and build an Internet of Things (IoT) Robotic Light Switch. This light switch would act as a complementary device to existing toggle switches and equip them with typical smart device features such as remote control (via Wi-Fi), digital voice assistant control, motion-sensing and integration with other smart home solutions (such as IFTTT).

A Graph Based Departmental Spoken Dialogue System, Julia Isaac
Honors Theses
Spoken dialogue systems are automatic, computer based systems that are a great way for people to receive important information.

The system was built by populating an open source dialogue system using a graph based dialogue manager. I improved upon a previous working dialogue system by making the conversations sound more natural, improving the flexibility of the system and making the system more robust. To help with this process a corpus was created using about 200 different dialogues …
