ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENT REMOTE CONTROL CAR (AI MOBILE) (A.K.A. REMOTE CONTROL CAR USING MATLAB)

The primary objective of this project is to construct a working prototype of a remote controlled car (a.k.a. AI Mobile) and its ability to control from MATLAB Graphical User Interface (GUI). It involves several EE areas in microcontroller, wireless communication and MATLAB. Secondary objective will be implementing artificial intelligence (AI) in a robot to perform tasks intelligently and autonomously. The car will be enhanced with systems like obstacles detection sensors, wireless camera, wireless microphone, and speed alteration. These systems will be combined by the PIC microcontroller and controlled from the remote computer with the aid of the MS Visual Basic GUI. With these artificial intelligent systems, successful execution of manyhuman-in-loop manipulation tasks which directlydepend on the operator's skill previously can be improved to: (i) permit easy and rapid incorporation of local sensory information to augment performance, and (ii) provide variable performance (precision- and power-) assist for output motions and forces. Such AI systems have enormous potential both reduce operator error and permit integration of greater autonomy into human and robot interactions which will eventually enhance security, safety, and performance. The AI systems are built on an existing platform modified from a remote controlled car. The processor used to coordinate the AI Mobile is the microcontroller PIC16F84A. The independent subsystems for controlling the AI Mobile via Microsoft Visual Basic include the serial communication interface, switching circuit, microcontroller, RF Transmitter & Receiver and Visual Basic programming

The use of electro-mechanical aids in industrial management

Thesis (M.B.A.)--Boston UniversityFrom that eventful day in 1750 When electrical current was first discovered and through the succeeding years Where such famous inventions as the electric light, the telephone, and generation of alternating current, were brought into being, to this present age of electronic development, the electro~echanical aids available to industrial management have mounted in number. Many of the basic inventions of the Nineteenth Century, although they have been improved steadily, are accepted as commonplace. Take for instance, the telephone or the electric light, little thought is given to their importance in everyday life. It takes a sudden power failure to firmly indicate our dilemma. In the modern factory loss of power can result in stoppage of machinery, loss of time and costly damage. Many of the newer windowless plants depend on artificial light for their existence; thus, loss of light by power failure can cause accidents in addition to the foregoing results

Automated tracking of the Florida manatee (Trichechus manatus)

The electronic, physical, biological and environmental factors involved in the automated remote tracking of the Florida manatee (Trichechus manatus) are identified. The current status of the manatee as an endangered species is provided. Brief descriptions of existing tracking and position locating systems are presented to identify the state of the art in these fields. An analysis of energy media is conducted to identify those with the highest probability of success for this application. Logistic questions such as the means of attachment and position of any equipment to be placed on the manatee are also investigated. Power sources and manateeborne electronics encapsulation techniques are studied and the results of a compter generated DF network analysis are summarized

The Papers of Thomas A. Edison

The second volume of The Papers of Thomas A. Edison, which covers the inventor's life from the end of June 1873 to the end of March 1876, reveals a remarkable diversity of activities and interests. During his late twenties Thomas Edison pursued his pathbreaking work in telegraph technology, formed a business alliance with the notorious financier Jay Gould, and became embroiled in a bitter legal battle over commercial rights to his quadruplex telegraph. Praise for previous volumes of The Papers of Thomas A. Edison:"The essence of the volume is Edison's technical notebooks, a window onto the inventor's workshop. His lucidity comes through everywhere . . . His writing and drawing come together as a single, vigorous thought process."—Russell McCormmach, New York Times."A mine of material . . . Scrupulously edited . . . No one could ask for more . . . A choplicking feast for Edison biographers—well into the next century, and perhaps beyond."—Fred Howard, Washington Post."A triumph of the bookmaker's art, with splendidly arranged illustrations, essential background information, and cautionary reminders of the common sources on which Edison's imagination drew."—David Joravsky, New York Review of Books."In the pages of this volume Edison the man, his work, and his times come alive . . . A delight to browse through or to read carefully."—Thomas J. Misa, Science
