The Cornell Cup USA presented by Intel competition creation team last year proved once again that they could create some of the most exciting robotics designs in the world. And they did it at the same time while empowering college teams from other top schools such as Berkley, MIT, UPenn, Purdue, Columbia and many more to create their own embedded systems. With more college teams taking part and more companies looking to join as sponsors this year (and even Bill Nye the Science Guy looking to get involved) this year the team aims to expand and refine the existing ModBot (Modular Robotics Platform) and this year we're we’re making droids! Here are just some of the areas being targeted for development:
• Oculus Rift Augmented Reality Control
• Walking Humanoid "C“C-3P0-esque" esque” Droid
• "R2“R2-D2-esque" esque” Droid Lab Assistant
• Omni-Directional and Dune Buggy-like Robotic Rovers Enhancements
• Outdoor Localization and Indoor SLAM
• Vision Systems (Onboard and External)
• PC and Embedded System Communications
• On-line GUI Applications
• Microcontroller / Arduino with MATLAB interface code
• Incorporating a new Intel Atom microprocessor board with a built-in Altera FPGA
• Autonomous and Semi-Autonomous Control Schemes
• Model Predictive Control
• Obstacle Avoidance and Path Planning
• Connection to mobile devices
• Adaptive GUI design
• Simulation
• VideoGame-like A.I.
• Power Systems
• RockBand Video game playing humanoid robots with puppeteer option
