This was 6 years ago, and that shows amazingly well. It’s interesting to see how much of this stuff is now very common. Not only in consumer products, but also in electronics as off-the-shelf miniaturized low priced modules. Those can do a lot of the ideas presented here, but in a much more refined way. It’s good to see the progress that has been made for the past 6 years! Still, they were nice and fun projects and the students must have learned a lot by making them! 👍🏼
Genuine question though, once the motors are activated and the chair goes forward with speed, how would you control it if some sudden obstacle comes in the way? Would be difficult to stop the motion with ease I suppose.?
i thought that was the best project. cud also be used by law enforcement . that device might be useful for tracking high speed small drones.. and perhaps using laser or microwaves or? to disable the drone in flight?
It's crazy. I've seen this video so many times during middle school and I am already a senior in high school. This video influenced me a lot, and even though I am not going to pursue mechatronics or mechanical (i'm doing cs), this video motivated me to pursue something to do with electronics.
This video is inspiring me to regain confidence I’m my career choice. I want to feel and BE an engineer. Programming came up as fun and enjoyable, I’m only on the surface tho, hope you like it, keep me updated! ^_^
i wasnt sure what to study, although i was already thinking about Mechatronics, but i was not sure, i had the feeling that i couldnt do it. Now I see this and I finally realize that if they could, I can too. like, look fido, it's simple but really interesting. ofc, i'm nervous asf lol
@@zebruhmlz8801 No, classes numbered in the hundreds mean upper division classes. So one would expect these students to have been in their third or fourth year.
I can't believe how amazing all of these ideas and projects were. And this was in 2014 bro. Can you imagine how much those people improved or even just had fun with all this? This is a great video that I wish touched more peoples home page
This looks like the Professional Practice Program aka Senior Design Project that all undergraduate students participate in when most or all engineering curriculum courses are fulfilled. Amazing!!
I'm so jealous of universities like this, when I was in undergrad people usually constructed their projects out of cardboard and were lucky if they worked for the entire length of the demo. 3D printed parts? well thought out design followed through from the initial stages? maybe one or two.
I completed my engineering degree 8 years ago. Back then I was very much enthusiastic and full of dreams just like these students. Now I have to do sell engineered products, for living. As a guy from a third world country, I guess marketing or ecommerce is what I should have learned. I hope at least these guys have found the best out of these innovations.
If the purpose wasnt to kill people, then he would have moved a mirror to track objects, he wouldnt move the whole laser assembly. He s def gonna mount a gun on that thing :D Cool project!
It’s crazy for me to think that this was 7 years ago. I was 11. Now I’m coming out of highschool after being on a robotics team and learning to code and finding a million uses for a raspberry pi around my house, realizing how I experienced some of these as they came into the market. The camera gimbal is my favorite, I study film on in my free time and now a lot of gimbals have the ability to do motion tracking very accurately.
The best lead in for these young students is to find something that they like and try to apply what they've learned to it. You're not going to be very long in this career if you're not doing something that you enjoy
I love artificial intelligence and robotic system but have no idea where to start. Love you guys making an impact to improve the face of technology in a different dimension.
I ALWAYS WANT TO STUDY MECHATRONICS BUT YOU KNOW IN SRI LANKA YOU HAVE NO CHANCE TO STUDY WHAT YOU LIKE. SO UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE TO STUDY IN THE ART STREAM. THERE ARE NO PLACES TO STUDY ABOUT ROBOTICS, MECHATRONICS IN SRI LANKA. YOU GUYS ARE SO LUCKY. KEEP IT UP👍
Awesome 👍 Projects .... Guys.. I'm too Mechatronics Engineer... Education system is very much important for the development of students... You guys are really blessed because ur not borned in India... All the things are good here Except education system... I'm really happy to see your projects .... But I'm too late ...
True that... education in India sucks unless you are from tier 1 college. We know how we used to make our final year project. And all the projects in this video are not even difficult to make. Just a proper guidance is what is required. Well it's student mistake too. After all ik hath see taali nhi bajti
I don't know man. I've seen pretty cool projects getting done in lots of Indian colleges nowadays. But sure, we do have a lot more room for improvement.
I like your "Fido" robot. I built something similar in the 90's, but it was less sophisticated. To balance it I built a small gyroscope placed on the four wheeled rover like vehicle that drove within the hamster sphere, and was radio controlled. It wasn't perfect, because my home-made gyroscope needed some kind of speed control to respond to various forward, and backward turns made from the RC operator.
I already created the “food printer” for Pizza Hut, toss pan with dough on top, 3 grabbers slide to center and grabs pan to secure it and to gather size of pizza, turn table would spin and dispenser will spray the oil & sauce onto the dough evenly from the center out. Pretty proud of the unit.
"I created a revolutionary 3d printer that has an order of a magnitude higher resolution than anything found today on the market" "uhh so here's my desktop greenhouse"
Me too, and my final project was a robot arm that played checkers with a webcam on an empty board where users pointed where to move the pieces and saw the virtual board on the screen. So many days at the lab and the software is soooo bad in hindsight. We actually wrote our own TCP server in python that isn’t even asynchronous, lol. It was strictly request-response. I believe you just feel dumb because any sufficiently advanced thing overpowers your brain, but if you break it down into the details, it’s not that hard. And you don’t see all the terrible, hacked together components inside, haha
After braking ...the inertia of the ball will definitely turn the the thing over ...though for the ecentric CG it will alligned again ....you can't move it fast ...unless brakes will not resist rolling .
The guy with the Gyroscope for cameras and phones is a millionaire now guaranteed 👌🏻 and the guy with the "quad-copter" definitely perfected it into drones!
Creating such as these projects is it mechanical engineering or electronics? I am about to go to university , they got both majors so I am so confused , I wanna create as these projects plus computers , which major involves that? BTW I am an English learner, I would appreciate it if you used simple vocab .
Great Staffs over here, the issue about Mech Project's is that they need good financing, without good finance and enough time to explore one can't give their best.
