Wolfgang: An Autonomous Mobile Robot for Outdoor Navigation

The goal of this project was to design and implement an autonomous robot capable of competing in the 2019 Intelligent Ground Vehicle Competition. The competition outlined several technical requirements including: lane detection and holding, obstacle avoidance, path planning, and GPS navigation. To achieve these tasks a Husky A100 platform was retrofitted with a more powerful computer and integrated with sensors such as a LIDAR, Camera, Satellite Compass, IMU, and GPS. A software architecture was developed based on Robot Operating System to reliably perceive the course lanes and obstacles, localize the robot through sensor fusion, and guide it through each waypoint

Madinat Al Irfane: Is Smart Mobility Feasible?

The goal of this project was to assess the feasibility of incorporating smart technologies into the current transportation systems within Madinat Al Irfane in Rabat, Morocco. Our team worked in collaboration with Dean Essaidi, of l\u27Ecole Nationale Supérieure d\u27Informatique et d\u27Analyse des Systèmes (ENSIAS) to accomplish this goal. Through research, site assessments, surveys, and interviews, our team gauged the publics discontent with the current bus service. After completing our assessment of the existing transportation systems in Madinat Al Irfane, we concluded it is not feasible to implement smart mobility initiatives. In hopes to alleviate prevalent issues the team found in the transit systems, we developed a preliminary design review for a sensor based tracking system for the buses
