The Smart UV Disinfectant device shall sanitize objects which are 18”x14”x8” or smaller and less than 20 lbs. using UV-C light. This device should contain many safety measures to prevent human and animal exposure to the UV-C light and have no public touchpoints to operate the interface. In order to achieve the first objective, this device shall contain a "sanitizing chamber" which completely encloses the object to be sanitized to prevent outside exposure with detection of any lifeforms inside of the chamber; for the second objective, it will contain a wireless interface to an Android application which can be used …

Obstacle Avoidance Subsystem For An Autonomous Robot, Kirstie King
Honors Program Projects
This research project details the design and implementation of the Obstacle Avoidance Subsystem for the Tigertron autonomous robot. This subsystem is designed to function as a smaller part of the whole Software Architecture and has the purpose of detecting, through use of a Laser Rangefinder, obstacles in the vehicle’s environment. Once the hardware is set up and configured, the Tigertron’s central software control architecture requests data from the Laser Rangefinder through a serial communication channel. This data is converted into objects that represent obstacles in the form of polar coordinates. These objects are stored in a container so the central …
