Senior Design Projects - Summer 2025 Showcase

With the rise of artificial intelligence in general usage, our project aims to bring AI to pre-existing IP cameras. By connecting cameras to an external device, we provide AI functionality, such as facial and object detection, to cameras that do not already have these features. Afterward, the external device displays the modified video output and provides ways to add faces for facial recognition. For us to complete the project, our team interviewed a client to understand our objectives and constraints. From there, we determined the feasibility of such a device and looked at the market to see if our device would do well. The team also recognized the risks we would undertake and other factors we needed to consider, such as the device's operating environment. We also studied other factors, such as ethical considerations on a global scale and standards to follow. We also researched potential patents and intellectual property that we would need to work around to ensure a good legal standing. All these factors played into our plan of action, where we formed a schedule using a PERT and Gantt chart, evaluated the estimated budget, and started working on the device's design. We discovered several options for our device's design but decided on one that we discovered to be the best. Our design uses a Jetson Orin Nano board as a base for our program that ensures AI functionality for IP cameras. Furthermore, our device functions as intended, and our performance parameters satisfy our original goals.

The VR Haptic Glove project aims to revolutionize virtual interaction by enabling users to feel digital objects via simulations of weight, temperature, airflow, and texture. Designed for headset-free use, the glove is lightweight, wireless, and modular—supporting training in firefighting, medicine, and industry. Iterative testing and user research helped define our low-latency, ergonomic, and long-battery objectives. 

Stock market data is necessary in our current society to make informed financial decisions. However, many existing platforms cannot update interactive visual representations based on current financial variables. While this feature has been attempted to be created using manual data collection, the process is time-consuming and prone to human inaccuracies, making this market analysis unattainable for various users. Our project is designed to rectify the situation by filling the gap and creating a website that provides interactive stock data visualization and contextual analysis. The interactive features will allow users to perform custom queries, compare various stock tickers, and study stock market trends using financial news overlays, thereby allowing for well-informed financial investment decisions to be made. 

With the Domestic Cooking Appliance with Battery Power Source, we can take advantage of how these devices operate. We can use a comparatively small electrical current to charge an energy storage system over a long period of time, so that the energy may be discharged from a high current for the comparatively short duration for which it is needed to cook a meal. This allows the circuit to operate on a typical North American wall outlet at 115 Volts and only 15 Amps of current or less, charging when the electrical grid or a backup power source is available, to later cook a meal even when power is entirely unavailable.
