  1. Superior Designs, Inc.Fall 2010 Approved Projects(for delivery May 2011) Instructor: Mike O’Dell

  2. Onboard Diagnostics for Race Car • Design and develop a device that will read and display information from a formula SAE Hybrid Race Car • Project is similar to current project underway by SD2 team Deathrace. • Further details to be provided by sponsor. • Sponsor: Formula SAE Race Team/Dr. Woods

  3. Cycling Monitor • Develop a device for a bicycle to keep track of the rider’s speed, location, direction, elevation, balance, and cadence. • Include and interface to advise rider when to shift gears, etc. • Detect and adjust for turns vs. slight changes in direction. • Sponsor: TBD (possibly a sports equipment manufacturer)

  4. Autonomous Othello/Checkers • Develop a system that uses AI and robotics to play the board games Othello and Checkers. • Player faces off against computer at various difficulty levels. • Computer places chips using robotic assist. • Uses image analysis to establish board status and then employs AI to determine best move by computer. • Sponsor: TBD (current student recommendation)

  5. Smart Fitness Trainer • Develop a system for Xbox 360, Wii or similar gaming device that simulates a personal fitness trainer • Uses image analysis/sensors to detect player’s position and movements and provides instructions/commands. • Monitors activity level, heart rate, etc and gives real-time feedback. • Sponsor: TBD (current student recommendation)

  6. Voice-Operated Tread Mill • Design and develop a system that controls a treadmill based on voice commands. • Interface voice control device with “standard” treadmill mechanical controls (e.g. speed and incline) • Include safety override commands • Sponsor: Marcus Oladell (or possibly a sports equipment manufacturer)

  7. Directional Sound Receiver • Design and develop a system consisting of an array of omni-directional microphones. • Adjust delays in the audio streams from microphones to reinforce sound/suppress noise. • Develop user interface to monitor and control speaker selection. • Potential application: speaker selection in a conference room/meeting • Sponsor: Umair Sadiq/UTA Lab??

  8. Weather Balloon Data Collector • Design and develop a system to be attached to a weather balloon to collect environmental data (position, altitude, temperature, pressure, humidity, etc). • Module should also be able to detach from the baloon via remote command, timer, or upon detection of a specified event. • Data collector module deploys parachute and detection device to allow recovery. • Sponsor: UTA GeoScience Lab??
