  2. MQPs • Image Processing • Compressed Image Ops • Robots in … • Trees • Tunnels • Disaster Response Project Preliminaries • Teams of 2-4 students • Multi-disciplinary is encouraged • Required bkg as noted • See Guidelines • Linked from my home page

  3. MQP: Compressed Image Ops • Perform image processing functions • Avoid .jpg .bmp • Faster, more efficient • Background: • Lin. Alg., Graphics • Image1.jpg • Image2.jpg • .jpg  .bmp • .jpg  .bmp • + • .bmp  .jpg • Image3.jpg

  4. MQP: Tree Robots • Tree-climbing robot • Camera for surveillance, e.g. Asian Longhorn Beetle • Improve existing robot • Better legs • Reduce weight • Better user interface • Saw for tree maintenance • Background: RBE 3002

  5. X MQP: Tunnel Robots • Tunneling robot • Instead of digging up street to lay cable • Send a GopherBot! • Background: RBE 3002

  6. DARPA Robotics Challenge Fukushima Disaster Too dangerous for humans … … send a robot Too bad robots can’t … • Traverse rubble • Attach hose • Close valves • Open doors • Climb ladders • Use tools • Remove debris • Drive vehicle • …YET!
