Abstract | ||
| Senior students in the Engineering and technology programs are challenged to thoroughly apply their learned technological knowledge and skills toward design and implementation of a challenging engineering product in senior deign or capstone courses. In this paper, a successfully implemented comprehensive design, which utilizes a synergy of competencies gained from undergraduate academic and research experiences with insight to the efforts concerning senior design project is presented. The main goal of this project was to design and implement a wireless security robot with camera and joystick control and obstacle avoidance capabilities. Initially, two goals concerning the final product were identified. These goals included a camera system to allow the user to capture pictures at variable angles and an obstacle avoidance system to detect obstructions. | ||
