Ez-Translate, Mason D. Beattie

Honors Theses

This report describes the EZ-Translate Software that was designed and developed by Mason Beattie for the CSCI495-D1 Honors Capstone Project and Course at Coastal Carolina University. This project is built from Java and is designed for the Windows 10 operating system. While running it displays or hides a translation menu when the designated key binds are pressed. Translations supported include select phrases from English, German, and Russian. The application also provides localization support for these three languages. The overall goal of this project to provide translation services while within another application was successfully achieved. The application utilizes an open-source Java …

An Analysis Of Project Setup And Organization In Software, Adam Fitzgibbon

Honors Theses

The setup of a software project can greatly influence how efficiently software can be built. In this paper, I will be discussing my experiences with various software projects and their setups. These experiences will be used as a basis to draw conclusions on the strengths and weaknesses of specific project setups in certain situations.

Because of the complexity of building software, there isn’t a project setup that works optimally for solving every type of software-based problem. The best approach is to know what variations would best fit the situation and make design decisions from there.

Control System For 3d Printable Robotic Hand, Htoo Wai Htet

Honors Theses

Humanoid robotics is a growing area of research due to its potential applications in orthosis and prosthesis for human beings. With the currently available technologies, the most advanced robotic hands used in prosthetics or robotics can cost from $11,000 to $90,000, making it inaccessible to the general population of amputees and robotics hobbyists. Most of the features provided by these expensive technologies are superfluous to many users, creating a great gap in cost and services between users and technology. Using the emerging 3D printing technology, my project is to construct a 3D printed robotic hand that can reproduce as many …
