M.Eng. and Undergrad Project Announcement
Project title: Create an Innovative Modular Robotics Platform, an R2-D2, a Disney Theme Park Ride Simulator, and a Novel Robotics / Video Game Hybrid in the Intel-Cornell Cup
Brief description of project:
The Intel-Cornell Cup 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. This year the team aims to expand and refine the existing ModBot (Modular Robotics Platform), our own R2-D2 lab assistant, and the physical 6 DoF simulation of our Disney Inspired Star Wars Pod Racing Ride. But adding to all of this we’ll be creating the Mini-Bot system that pulls together years of work into a low cost educational platform – and possibly showcase it as a miniature robotic and video game hybrid version of Mario Kart! This Mini-Bot system is already being planned to be showcased at national Maker venues throughout the year and is being developed in conjunction with a Cornell startup company to provide additional mentorship and expertise support for the team. There is also potential for a new biomechanical project and other Maker related endeavors.
