Cedarville University’s Autonomous Golf Cart Senior Design Project’s mission is to provide engineering students with hands on experience with industry standard intelligent vehicle technologies, solve open-ended, multi-dimensional problems, and provide an autonomous transportation service to the greater campus community. Our autonomous technology will share the sidewalks; therefore, the public image of our autonomous routing service is critically linked with its technical performance. The autonomous golf cart has two major design areas: the cart’s hardware and its software. Within hardware, our team created functional braking and an H-Bridge for reversing. Within software, our team moved the codebase to a new software …

Scholars Symposium
The project goal is to design a low cost prosthetic hand controlled by a PIC18F25K22 microcontroller that will allow the user to perform simple tasks that require a greater dexterity than what a mechanical prosthetic can deliver. The digits of the prosthetic will be contracted or relaxed using electromyographic signals measured by electrodes on a single muscle group. Grip settings, which define the open and closed position for each digit, are used for the control of the hand. This allows common actions, such as grabbing a door handle or pencil, to be accomplished with readings from one muscle group instead …
