Below is a list of our current projects available for club members to use.
Robot Name | Description | Hardware | Software | Difficulty 1-5 |
---|---|---|---|---|
ARDX Electronics Kits | We have a number of ARDX electronics kits available for students to play around with. | 1 | ||
Lego Mindstorm NXT x10 | We have a number of Lego Mindstorm NXTs availabe. | 1 | ||
Magician Chassis x30 | This is an Ardunio contolled robot aimed to introduce everyone to constructing, plugging in electronics and programming robots. | 2 | ||
Raspberry Pi Projects x15 | We have a number of Raspberry Pi computers available for projects. | 2 | ||
Sensor Board | All hardware has been done, only programming is needed to join all the sensors. | 3 | ||
Humanoid | The humanoid is a small commercial bipedal robot, software needs to be created to make it move and dance etc. | 3 | ||
Automated Window Monitoring System | Hardware and software needs to be created to automate the opening and closing of a window. | 3 | ||
Sumo bots | Small robots for fighting other robots | 3 | ||
Humanoid Bipedal Robot | This is a bipedal robot which needs programming to walk. | 3 | ||
Driverless cars | These are toy rc cars which have been converted to be made autonomous, using an Arduino and Raspberry Pi. | 3 | ||
Fruit Keyboard | Using a Raspberry Pi and capacitive touch shield, we need some programmers to create an interactive exhibit such as a fruit keyboard using these components. | 3 | ||
Valiants x10 | This is an Ardunio contolled robot (similar to magician chassis) aimed to introduce robotic programming. | 3 | ||
Granny Gadget | All hardware is done, advanced knowledge of coding is needed for GPS control of robot. | 4 | ||
Pioneer | All hardware is done, only programming is needed to allow the robot to solve mazes and act intelligently. | 4 | ||
Sherbert Lemon | Sherbert Lemon is an 3-wheeled omni directional robot, consisting of an Arduino, encoders and ultrasonic sensors. | 4 | ||
Robotic Arm | We have a robotic arm and end effector which needs to be refurbished, this project will involve expertise in both electronics and/or the Robotic Operating System. | 5 | ||
Interactive Mars Surface | This project is aimed to be used as an outreach exhibit where the public can drive a Mars Rover robot around a mars surface. Landmarks on the surface will be planted with a magnetometer, allowing the robot to detect when it reaches an "interesting area" for science. A display will show information regarding the landmark. | 5 | ||
Mini-Barnes Mars Rover | Our 1/4 scale mars rover is undergoing some refurbishment, we need a team of students to wire the new control system and program some control drivers for use with ROS (Robotic Operating System). | 5 | ||
Rocky | This is a 3 wheel drive electric quad bike chassis, this will need the electronics updated and code created for autonomy and remote control. | 5 |
