Inspiring Innovation Location: Atrium outside room 1302 This exhibit is suitable for: All Location: Atrium outside room 1304 This exhibit is suitable for: All Robotic Platform Manipulation Sucrose ACM we will be building multiple platform vehicles and doing real tests on their communication, object detection and real time recognition in order to better understand the obstacles in the way of cheap, robust platform vehicles. Location: Atrium outside room 1214 This exhibit is suitable for: All ACM SIGARCH Our project will be a candy machine that will utilize the University’s ID to buy items. Users will be able to select the item, swipe their ID; a local database will store what they bought. Location: Atrium outside room 1302 This exhibit is suitable for: All Teaching Software Seekbot Individual Created to demonstrate computer, electrical, and software engineering principles, seekBot is a 4-wheel drive rover with onboard computer and sensor array that allows for remote data collection and exploration. If you’re into robots and computers, check out this impressive machine. Location: Atrium outside room 1302 This exhibit is suitable for: All ACM SIGSoft This application is designed to allow students to begin learning the main concepts of programming without having to look at a foreign and confusing new language through use of a powerful graphical development tool. Location: Atrium outside room 1304 This exhibit is suitable for: All Electrical Engineering alumnus Donald L. Bitzer(BS 1955, MS 1956, PhD 1960, Electrical Engineering), Robert Willson (BS 1959, Engineering Physics; MS 1961, Physics; PhD 1966, Electrical Engineering), and the late H. Gene Slottow (PhD 1964, Electrical Engineering), receive a Technical Achievement Emmy for their invention of the plasma display monitor--forerunner of the modern flat panel television screen. The Bitzer-Slottow Award in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the College of Engineering was established in 1989. 2001 Webprint SharedFS ACM SIGOPS SIGOps will be presenting SharedFS, a peer-to-peer filesystem designed for Local Area Networks. SharedFS has been in development since Spring 2005 and this will be its second year at EOH. ACM Webmonkeys Webprint will take data from all over the internet and use this to intelligently compile a summary of the personal information that is “out there”, openly available to the public if anybody wants to look hard enough. Sure it sounds a little creepy... but wouldn’t you like to know what you’ve been telling everybody? Location: 1st Floor Hallway (between east entrance and Chemistry and Bioengineering Professor Paul C Lauterbur shared the Nobel Prize for Medicine or Physiology with England’s Peter Mansfield for their seminal discoveries concerning the use of magnetic resonance to visualize different structures. Lauterbur was among the first scientists to use nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in the studies of molecules, solutions and solids. He was also the first researcher to produce an image with NMR and apply the technology to medicine. 2003
