Effects Of A Wi-Fi Link On The Performance Of A Path Following Autonomous Ground Vehicle, Anthony Iwejuo, Austin Cagle, Billy Kihei, Ph.D.
Symposium of Student Scholars
As vehicles become more automated and connected, the future of safe and efficient travel will be dependent on efficient wireless networks. Artificial intelligence (AI) demands high power resources and computing resources that can be resource-intensive for mobile robotic systems. A new paradigm involving the remote computing of A.I. can enable robotics that are built lighter and more power efficient. In this study, we compare a locally run artificial intelligence algorithm for autonomous ground vehicle navigation against remote computation through various wireless links to highlight the need for low-latency access to remote computing resources over Wi-Fi network calls. Our findings show …

Mosaic Swarm Robotics: Emulating Natural Collective Behaviors For Efficient Task Execution With Custom Mobile Robots, Jonathan Ridley, Arielle Charles, Charles Koduru, Muhammad Hassan Tanveer, Razvan Voicu
Symposium of Student Scholars
Mosaics, as an artistic expression, involves the meticulous arrangement of diverse tiles to form a unified composition. Drawing inspiration from this concept, the field of swarm robotics seeks to emulate nature’s collective behaviors observed in ant colonies, fish schools, and bird flocks, employing multiple agents to accomplish tasks efficiently. Our research explores the concept of mosaic swarm robotics, where numerous nodes with specialized functions are deployed across various domains, including applications for outdoor data capture and environment mapping. We utilized custom mobile robots operated by Raspberry Pi microcontrollers. By establishing an elaborate web of client-to-client communications to enable true localized …
Evaluating The Health Benefits And Cost-Effectiveness Of Dental Sealant Reapplication Among Children And Adolescents, Pritam Deb, Jayden Ayash, Christina Scherrer
Evaluating The Health Benefits And Cost-Effectiveness Of Dental Sealant Reapplication Among Children And Adolescents, Pritam Deb, Jayden Ayash, Christina Scherrer
Symposium of Student Scholars
Dental caries, commonly known as cavities, persist as a prevalent chronic disease among children. Dental sealants, which are transparent coatings applied to the molars, have been proven to prevent over 80% of caries in these teeth. However, the effectiveness of sealants diminishes over time, primarily due to their potential to detach shortly after application due to inadequate bonding, or else gradually over time. Notably, dental insurance coverage for resealing teeth after the initial sealant has been lost varies widely, with many policies only covering the cost of the initial application. This study employs a Markov model-based discrete event simulation to …
Influence Of Al2o3 Passivation Layer Thickness On The Thermal Stability And Quality Of Mocvd-Grown Gan On Si, S M Atiqur Rahman, Manika Tun Nafisa, Zhe Chuan Feng, Benjamin Klein, Ian T. Ferguson
Influence Of Al2o3 Passivation Layer Thickness On The Thermal Stability And Quality Of Mocvd-Grown Gan On Si, S M Atiqur Rahman, Manika Tun Nafisa, Zhe Chuan Feng, Benjamin Klein, Ian T. Ferguson
Symposium of Student Scholars
This research delves into the significant impact of varying thicknesses of the Al2O3 passivation layer on the thermal stability and crystalline quality of GaN on Si structures, an essential aspect for the next generation of high-temperature electronic and optoelectronic devices. By adopting metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) for the growth process, we analyzed structures with different Al2O3 passivation layer thicknesses: none, 2 nm, 10 nm, and 20 nm, each built upon the GaN layer. Through Raman spectroscopy, we meticulously assessed the changes in the E2 (High) phonon mode's peak position and full width …

Raman Spectroscopy Of Gan On Si With Varied Thin Film Thickness For High-Temperature Semiconductor Devices, Manika Tun Nafisa
Symposium of Student Scholars
This study explores the potential of GaN on Si thin films as a promising material for high-temperature semiconductor devices, owing to its impressive thermal properties and performance characteristics. Two GaN on Si samples were grown using Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD), with different film thicknesses, and their potential for high-temperature applications was comprehensively assessed by performing Raman spectroscopy at various temperature levels. The experimental results provided valuable insights into the material's behavior at elevated temperatures. At 300°C, the GaN E2 (High) peak showed a Raman shift at 562.38 cm⁻¹ for high-thickness samples and 561.49 cm⁻¹ for low-thickness samples. …

The current era is known as the information era. Every day, millions of gigabytes of data are being transferred from one point to another. As the creation of data became easy, it became hard to keep track of the important points and the gist of data especially in areas such as research and news. To solve this conundrum, text summarization is introduced. This is a process of summarizing text from across different documents or large datasets such that it can be read and understood easily by both humans and machines.
