Scholar Week 2016 - present
The VEX Robotics Competition is a challenging event series for elementary to university students. Each year, VEX creates thought provoking games with goals that must be accomplished via robotics. The question ONU Robotics Team must answer is “how can one create the most effective strategies in order to win?” during the 2019-2020 Tower Takeover Game. The ONU Robotics Senior Design Team (ORSeT) will work to answer this question with principles from Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Computer Science. ORSeT will use this opportunity to not only create a winning robot, but also to challenge team members’ creative abilities and engineering …

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 …
