ATU Research Symposium

Arkansas Tech University Modular Robotic Training System (ATUM RTS) project aims to combine two existing systems: The Georgia Tech Robotarium and the Micromouse maze-solving competition. The goal of ATUM RTS is to incorporate the challenge and excitement of maze-solving robots with the cloud-based learning system of the Robotarium. We intend to develop an automatic maze table with future remote capabilities to further student learning and engagement. By being able to create custom mazes with ATUM RTS, students will have access to a resource that will allow them to practically apply what they are learning in the classroom. The ATUM RTS …


Applications Of Supercapacitors In Robotic Systems, Charles Davis, Zachary Giese, Joseph Gober, Samuel Grisham, Avery Mahan Apr 2024

Applications Of Supercapacitors In Robotic Systems, Charles Davis, Zachary Giese, Joseph Gober, Samuel Grisham, Avery Mahan

ATU Research Symposium

This project explores the utilization of a bespoke supercapacitor system to energize and propel a robot across various challenging courses. The custom supercapacitor setup serves as the primary power source, providing rapid charging capabilities and high energy density. The research investigates the integration of this innovative power solution into the robot's design, aiming to optimize its performance and endurance in competitive environments.


Hybrid Pv-Teg System, Anna-Marie Pesaresi, Paige Woolheater, Chance Eoff, Nicholas Colburn Apr 2024

ATU Research Symposium

This research is focused on an innovative approach to improving the efficiency of a well- established renewable energy source. Solar cells are becoming more prominent as the power industry is shifting towards using more clean energy sources. Photovoltaic (PV) solar cells can only absorb a portion of the irradiance spectrum. The portion that is not absorbed raises the temperature of the system. The efficiency of PV cells drastically decreases as the temperature of the module rises and more energy is lost in the form of heat waste. Thermoelectric generator (TEG), when combined with PV cell, thrives off of the PV …
