Student Symposium Abstracts

This presentation will describe the designing and building process of “Squirt,” a holonomic tri-wheeled turtle-bot. Read More…

The goal of this research was to study what factors affect the dimension of a copper fractal. Read More…

My work took previously gathered wind speed, direction, temperature, and pressure data collected in the Mount Vernon area and input it into a database. Read More…

A unique task in artificial intelligence is the problem of navigating an idealized robot arm (a series of connected line segments) from a starting position to an ending position while avoiding obstacles in its path. Read More…

A classic problem in artificial intelligence is path finding, determining a good path from position A to position B, with the least cost. The authors developed the algorithm Traversing Large Spaces (TLS) as one solution to this problem. Read More…

We extended the Course Managements System WeBWorK to automatically grade code fragments and programs written in the Java programming language. Read More…

Technologies straight out of movies like Minority Report are now becoming a reality with gestural interfaces, wall sized touch sensitive displays, multiuser interactive media tables, and incredibly scalable user collaboration software now on the market. Read More…

The presenter will describe the special challenges encountered in the design of a Web application and the special methods used to meet those challenges. Read More…

This program is an implementation of an algorithm designed by Segre et.al. [1]. It follows a protocol intended to combine two datasets by their confidential identifiers, removing all the duplicate records without revealing the identifiers. Read More…

The main method of mobility for a robot is a set of wheels. Instead of using this popular and easy method of robot mobility, we chose to develop a six-legged robot that can perform the same sorts of functions a wheeled robot can perform. Read More…
