Low Cost Vehicular Autonomy Using Radar And Gps, Nathan Jessurun, Ryan Gordon, Danielle Fredette Apr 2019

Low Cost Vehicular Autonomy Using Radar And Gps, Nathan Jessurun, Ryan Gordon, Danielle Fredette

The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)

This presentation describes a subset of the systems devised for this year's autonomous golf cart senior design project. Our goal is to explore the possibilities of low cost autonomy using only radar and GPS for environmental sensing and navigation. Although autonomous and semi-autonomous ground vehicles are a relatively new reality, prototypes have been a subject of engineering research for decades, often utilizing an array of sensors and sensor fusion techniques. State of the art autonomous ground vehicle prototypes typically use a combination of LIDAR and other distance sensors (such as radar or sonar) as well as cameras and GPS, sometimes …

Cognitive Understanding Of Reverse Engineering Assistant, Nathan Elliot Harris, Bertrand L. Lachance, Jeremy William Tiberg, Faith Trautmann

The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)

The Cognitive Understanding of Reverse Engineering Assistant, or C.U.R.E. Assistant for short, is an independently developed program with the purpose of introducing students of the software reverse-engineering world to the art of disassembly. Reverse Engineering, or R.E. for short, is the process of deducing the source instructions or mechanisms of a device. This can be done to software to figure out how it works and how it can be exploited. While hackers employ this method for breaking into software systems, this is very useful for security researchers to determine security vulnerabilities in internet browsers, operating systems, apps, and more, so …

Gradel, Brennon Gee, Malachi Marshall, Nathan Barlow, James Osborne

The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)

Grading homework is a major time-consuming process for professors. This is especially true of computer science professors who each teach multiple sections and classes. Our Senior design project, Gradel is a web application created to help professors with this task. It does this in two ways, firstly by allowing the professors to create customized assignments, problems, test cases and correct solutions. After a class is created our application compares the student's submission with the professor’s solution to automatically grade the submissions. This is also very helpful for students, by giving them instant feedback it allows them to make corrections or …
