The All Wheel Find project is a versatile robotic system that could be used for a variety of applications such as military, search and rescue, and research. We chose to focus on search and rescue as we believe that prioritizing that use would provide the greatest benefit and use to society. It can be used for cases as simple as finding a lost piece of jewelry such as an engagement ring in a field, to something as life changing as helping to locate lost cave explorers who may have taken the wrong tunnel.
This robot system integrates a multitude of technologies learnt at UCF, which we always wanted to combine to see how all of them work in practice individually but also how their integration make them cooperate in such a way to produce future like performance out of accessible components. Who would image that undergraduate students would use Object Detection techniques to accomplish complicated tasks if one would have asked that questions as soon as 10 years ago?
is a 23-year-old senior enrolled in the Computer Engineering program at the University of Central Florida. Post-graduation he intends to enter the job market to acquire experience in his field before pursuing more education. Responsible for the object detection algorithm, assisted with PCB design and soldering, object avoidance and search algorithm.
