Fall 2009: CS 195 - Hands On Robotics

•  
• Mindstorms Strikeout Baseball
  Mark Cooper, Shawn Bonneau and Mike Wheeler had fun implementing a baseball game that uses two independent Lego Mindstorm bricks — one for the pitcher, one for the batter.
• Egg-Sorting Robot
  Chris Swanson, Wiliam Purcell and Jorge Logan Arias explored factory automation with their egg sorter.
• NXJ Piano Player
  Bernadette Gill, Noah White-Hammerslough and Al Harnisch taught their Lego Mindstorm to play the keyboard.
• RecycleBot
  Austin Emmons, Borja Garcia Sanchez and Naomi Pollica created a robot that sorts recyclables.
• Rover
  Ron Magnuson, Phil Plourde and Evan Selleck created a robot that is controlled using a Wii remote and wireless internet signals; both the robot and the controlling computer have webcams.

• Controlling Technologies
  A funny look at how technology makes us more efficient — or not! Congrats to Chris Paganelli and crew for Second Place in our 2008 CEMS YouTube Contest.

CS Lectures

•  
• Top-10 Algorithms in Data Mining
  Dr. Xindong Wu presents the top-10 data mining algorithms identified by the IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM).

Fall 2008: CS 195 - Hands On Robotics

•  
• Baldur, the BiPed Robot
  JoyLee Flahive, Joshua Miner, Samir Omerovic and Ben Symonds created a biped walker controlled using two NXT bricks connected via Bluetooth on a Mac running Windows XP.
• The Barista
  Jared Model, Steve Brooks, Matt Bansak and Conor Dow created "The Barista," a Lego Mindstorm robot designed for the purpose of refilling drinks at a cafe.
• Guitar Hero: 2.0
  Team Alpha Wolf Squadron — Simone Willett, Travis Rohlin, Ken Austin, Jon Paquette — created a Lego Mindstorms NXT robot that uses LeJOS to play Guitar Hero.
• Robo Pup
  Mike Garnsey, Russ Hirschorn, Caleb Searles and Craig Nally made a robot dog with Lego Mindstorms that follows, obeys remote controls and plays in "dog" mode.
• Wii Control
  Thomas Stirling, Joel Blouin, Ryan Mannigan and Glenn Rachlin designed a robot to take commmands via Bluetooth through a Nintendo Wiimote.

Spring 2008: CS 228 - Human-Computer Interaction

•  
• braintempest aka the murdercycle
  Designed by Joel Dudley, Fernando Iglesias and John Dimona.
• Lego Mindstorms Robot
  Designed by Eric Shepard, Jessa McCartney and Stephanie Burger.
• Mindstorms Project
  Designed by Paul Vidich, Taylor Mendelsohn and Max Guyton, this robot is controlled via the arrow keys on a laptop over a bluetooth connection. It includes an ultrasonic sensor and a light sensor.
• Robot Basketball
  Designed by Simone Willett and Wesley Riley, light and touch sensors move the robot forward and backwards. A noise sensor moves the arms. Each "clap" or loud noise makes a new movement.
• The Wii Machine
  Designed by Jared Model and Connor Dow.

Spring 2007: CS 228 - Human-Computer Interaction

•  
• Lego Mindstorms NXT Robot
  Designed by Steve Whaley and Jacob Beauregard, this robot listens for a loud sound (e.g., a clap) to trigger movement.
