PLEASE MARK YOUR CALENDAR AND ATTEND MCC SCHOLARS' DAY
2019
On Tuesday, May 7th, all members of the MCC community are
urged to spend some time in building 12 on the Brighton campus exploring the
insights and achievements shared by students and faculty in poster, oral
presentation, and debate formats. (The debates will be in the Campus Center
Atrium. The posters will be on the Campus Center Terrace.)
No matter what your interests and experience, you are guaranteed to find
something fascinating and come away inspired. You have the power to add meaning
to the endeavors of these hard-working scholars by showing your interest in
their work.
One of the upcoming presentations is described below. Watch for additional
examples from other disciplines in future announcements.
UAV Human Rescue Project
Presenters: Ethan Hilbert, Camden Arlauckas, and Robert Herberger
Sponsor: Professor Christopher Kumar (Engineering)
A versatile Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) has been constructed following
strict guidelines set by our professor. The UAV has to fly through obstacles
and deliver two different types of payloads. One of the payload deliveries is
an autonomously-released egg drop, using an Arduino microcontroller and a
TCS230 light sensor. The second payload is a launcher attached on the UAV which
will release a table-tennis ball into a hoop, 7 feet in the air, from 5.5 feet
away. The flight controller on the UAV is a CC3D, with four Hobbyking speed
controllers attached to each of the motors. The motors are prop-drive 2826
motors using 8 X 4.5-inch propellers. The frame of the UAV was constructed of
Delrin and aluminum in an X-frame formation. Through our testing we have flown
the drone and been able to successfully use the egg drop mechanism to release
and drop the egg onto a flat platform.
