RFID and autonomous vehicle

Electrical and Electronic Engineering, The 1st Engineering InnoShow / By

Have you ever imagined that your vehicle can be self-controlled automatically? Your car will bring you to your designated destination with the fastest route, avoiding collision while your hands are not holding the steering wheel or even following a specific car that has the same destination as you. All of these can be achieved by autonomous vehicle.
In the project, our main objective is to create a simple and reliable autonomous vehicle. With RFID control, your dream may success . This is the future autonomous vehicle.

Lumino

Electrical and Electronic Engineering, The 1st Engineering InnoShow / By

Guide dogs and white canes are currently the most common forms of navigational aid for the visually impaired. Though common, it is not an effective solution as there is a severe shortage of only 50 guide dogs in Hong Kong. Guide dog training is time-consuming and white canes on the other hand are limited to its length, and the true nature of the detected obstructions are unknown to the user.

Lumino aims to provide a cost-efficient one-stop solution to barrier-free movement for the visually impaired.

It is a innovative device that represents both a guide dog and a white cane by providing smart-object identification, hazard identification, real time GPS navigation with additional markers and haptic feedback.

Luxo – A personal assistant lamp

Electrical and Electronic Engineering, The 1st Engineering InnoShow / By

Inspired by animatronics, we built a personal assistant lamp – Luxo. Luxo is a highly customizable voice based robot who portrays it’s emotions through it’s movements and LED lamp. It was developed using open source technologies and with an emphasis on modularity. Based on Pixar’s character Luxo Jr. and Abhishek Singh’s robot Peeqo, Luxo proves to be not only a productivity companion, but also an entertainer!

Smart home system

Smart Home System is an intelligent home system implemented by different sensors and components with Raspberry Pi. It can be divided into monitoring, smart control and security modules. Monitoring module allows users to read the data from the environment, like temperature, humidity, lightness and image from camera. Smart control module allows users remotely control appliances at home automatically or manually. Security module allows users to know the current status of the home, by receiving notification if any unexpected condition is detected. By Apple HomeKit, users could integrate the system and use the above functions with their Apple devices.

Augmented reality in retail

Computer Science, The 1st Engineering InnoShow / By

Through the BazaAR iOS application, we propose a hybrid shopping experience enabled by Augmented Reality technology and Photogrammetry. A retailer enters the application and adds items for sale with various details including product description and cost. He/she uploads images of this product which are then converted into 3D models(using Photogrammetry) by the application. Once the customer starts the application, he browses through the list of products for sale and selects a product from the list after which the respective 3D models is pulled out from the database for interactive viewing in Augmented Reality.

Surgical robotics

Mechanical Engineering, The 1st Engineering InnoShow / By

The topic of the project is “Surgical robotic system development for dental applications”. A group of four students were dedicated to making a compact and dexterous dental robot specially designed for private dental clinics at densely populated cities like Hong Kong. Tendon-driven mechanism is adopted to minimize its size while a six Degree-of-Freedom mechanism in its joints helps boosting its dexterity. A haptic device was utilized to translate the hand motions of the dentist for teleoperation.

A robotic catheter system for MRI-guided cardiac electrophysiological intervention

Mechanical Engineering, The 1st Engineering InnoShow / By

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques allow intra-operative monitoring of the ablation procedure during cardiovascular electrophysiology (EP). However, currently it is still challenging to carry out effective catheterization under MRI environment. We present an MR-safe robot for intra-cardiac EP intervention. The robot actuation features small hysteresis, effective force transmission and quick response. Experimental evaluation has verified its capability to precisely tele-manipulate a standard clinically used EP catheter. The slave part of the robot is made of non-metallic MR-safe materials, therefore can operate close to or inside the MRI scanner without adversely affecting the MR image quality.

Open ocean robot platform

Electrical and Electronic Engineering, The 1st Engineering InnoShow / By

It is estimated that 1.15 to 2.41 million tonnes of plastic are entering the ocean each year from rivers. More than half of this plastic is less dense than the water, meaning that it will not sink once it encounters the sea. The stronger, more buoyant plastics show resiliency in the marine environment, allowing them to be transported over extended distances.

However, we believe that we can help reduce the amount of plastic that reaches the open ocean.

We started Clearbots to make it affordable and viable for local communities to clear their water of dumped plastic waste.

Dumb ways to fail

Computer Science, The 1st Engineering InnoShow / By

Dumb ways to fail is a game which simulates a typical student experience, which one’s lack of attention to different aspects of a course (attendance, coursework, exam etc) could lead to failing a course. Within the game, players will go through a series of mini games, in which they will be given short instruction and react quickly to complete that game successfully. After players have played the game for several times, they will become better at the game and could achieve higher grade at the end of the game. Random bonus will be given to players to create extra excitement.

Lost slime: a new home

Computer Science, The 1st Engineering InnoShow / By

Lost Slime is a Multiplayer-Educational-Rhythm game that runs on your web browser, written in javascript with Node.js, Express.js and Socket.IO. It is designed to be lightweight and responsive to run on any PC.

Find Slimies new houses! Players compete to stack the tallest pillar to gain a high ground — which helps Slimies in spotting new locations for housing. To stack a pillar block, players time their space-bars along with the music beats. There are also phrases or sentences intertwined, that players have to input correctly before pressing space-bar. With these two objectives carried out, Slimies can then jump on the newly stacked pillar block!

What’s more, there are two additional single-player modes, where players strive for stacking the tallest pillar in High-score Mode, as well as surviving as long as possible, in Survival Mode, before the camera catches up!

We set out in making the game casually improve players’ typing proficiency. It could be cheerful-lighthearted, or mechanically intensive. We have designed an additional beat-mapper program to translate music pieces into custom track information used by the game, in json format. Which means players can create authentic mappings with their favorite music!
