Show moreTechnological developments in recent years make it possible to constructsmall autonomous mobile platforms equipped with computing hardware andsensors that can communicate with each other and/or with a centralstation. The uses of such platforms are numerous and range from militaryand security applications to monitoring and inspection. While low leveltasks such as obstacle avoidance should be handled by the mobile robotin order to free the attention of a human supervisor, higher level tasksmay require user intervention based on images and other sensoryinformation which is provided by the platform. The way in which taskscan be specified based on the limited information provided by thesurveyor(s) in a natural way is an interesting problem without a simplesolution. This is mainly due to the fact that 2D images and othersensory information are only partial representations of the real 3Dworld. The goal of the project in this semester is to build one or more smallautonomous mobile robot surveyors that can communicate with a remotecontrol-station. The surveyor will use a single board computer, a smallcamera, several range sensors, servo motors, and will be controlled bywireless communication. These surveyors will be used in future projectsto investigate the human interaction and task specification problems.

Show moreThis project will assist Pilgrim Baptist Church in developing archival, instructional, and commercial materials for the non-sectarian Thomas A. Dorsey Community and Cultural Arts Center, which will be located at the corner of 33rd Street and Indiana (just east of the IIT campus). In this sub-project (part of a series of related IPROs), participants will focus on four tasks: (1) creating an online discography (database) covering 1900-1960; (2) developing a web-based interactive map of music venues in Bronzeville, 1900-1960, including landmarks located on what is now the IIT campus; (3) creating a series of CDs illustrating the music played at each venue, 1900-1960; (4) negotiating contracts with commercial music publishers and gathering required permissions. Students will research relevant archival materials in the VivianG. Harsh Research Collection of Afro-American History and Literature, the DuSable Museum, the Chicago Historical Society, and the Chicago Jazz Archive at the University of Chicago. Finally, students will begin to prepare informational materials in diverse media for distribution at the Dorsey Center.
