Challenge: To design, build and test an autonomous delivery system for small, lightweight parts to be delivered by UAVs across a square-mile facility.
Challenge: Develop and demonstrate a level 4 autonomous vehicle that navigates an urban driving course in an autonomous mode to simulate real life traffic scenarios encountered on public roads.
Our role was to design the perception and path planning algorithms to successfully compete in a series of challenges. Challenges include navigating intersections and highways, detecting obstacles and road signs, and adhering to safety requirements.
Challenge: To overcome the size and delicacies of creating an autonomous systems designed for de-powdering specific 3D-printed, binder-jetted parts before the sintering process. This projects with an industry-leading client to create a system that has never been done before.
Challenge: To design and build the fifth generation of our electric superbike named BOLT VS.
This iteration will be the most ambitious bike yet with a new innovative battery pack, better data collection, and custom frame. Last year, the senior design team designed and fabricated a custom trellis frame which BOLT will be building upon this year. In May, the team will deliver the next generation of electric motorcycle complete with a powertrain, expanded data collection system, and safety validated frame.
Challenge: To design and build a Formula-style electric race car which adheres to the SAE competition rules, while learning and conveying practical engineering skills that are used in industry.
Challenge: To automate the water delivery system for an indoor microgreens aquaponics system such that the system is less reliant on human intervention.
The system will need to regulate water storage, water delivery, and water quality (as measured by temperature, pH, and electrical conductivity). The system included a means for remote monitoring, as well as a digital interface for system control and monitoring.
Challenge: To design, build, and test a propulsion test bench and sensor fusion algorithm to help prepare the HEVT junior team members for future success.
The EcoCAR EV Challenge challenges 15 North American universities to engineer a next generation battery electric vehicle (BEV) that utilizes automation and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) connectivity to implement energy efficient customer-pleasing features and meet the decarbonization needs of the automotive industry.
Challenge: To design and build a robotic prosthetic for our customer with a partially amputated hand that allows the user’s thumb to control movement and perform actions including grasping, pointing, and making various hand gestures.
Challenge: To develop functional electrical and mechanical subsystems of a solar powered electric vehicle in preparation of the 2023 The Formula Sun Grand Prix.
Challenge: Our job is to design and build an autonomous robot for trash collection on rural roads.
