  1. Institute of Electronics and Electrical Engineers Senior Projects Robowaiter Competition: Aaron Griffin & Mark Smith, 2014 IEEE Southeast Con. Hardware Competition: Austin Deuerling & Jake Schwartz Fire Fighting Robot: Patrick Bowling & AbdulrahmanAl Hosani

  2. What is the RoboWaiter competition? • Designing an autonomous robot that can find and carry a plate of food from a refrigerator to a table. • Connecticut Council on Developmental Disabilities • Meant to simulate real kitchen. • New methods of assisted living. http://www.trincoll.edu/events/robot/RoboWaiter/robowaiter2.JPG

  3. What is the Fire Fighting Competition? • Designed autonomously to navigate an arena. • Will find and extinguish a candle that is placed anywhere in the arena • Arena simulates a real home • Bring forward new ideas to assist firefighters in controlling house fires. http://www.strout.net/fcrffc/

  4. What is the 2014 IEEE Southeast Con. Hardware Competition? • Create autonomous robot to navigate mock basketball court. • Must find 3 randomly placed blue ‘firing plates’ • When on plates will fire dart through a goal • Large competition sponsored by the national IEEE branch

  5. What benefits are there from doing robotic competitions as a senior project? • Can represent the University of Evansville and it’s engineering department • Underclassmen are encouraged to assist seniors to give them some eary experience in projects • Robots can be used during school open houses to show what students do in electrical engineering • Demonstrates what we have learned in our years at University of Evansville

  6. What do we need to complete the projects? • Total cost of the three projects • Funds still required to compete • Each project has to purchase hardware • Each team must pay for travel expenses to get to the competitions • Funds have been raised from selling t-shirts • Two of the teams have been sponsored by the companies 4pcb and Whirlpool. • Been awarded money by the engineering department to build each robot • Planning fundraiser for spring semester
