Hey guys,
I started a new semester of grad school and in my class our only assignment is to come up with an embedded system design of our choosing. Problem is, I'm having difficulty coming up with something that can fit in the schedule timeline to completion. Here are a few ideas other students came up with in the past:
- Roomba vacuum which fetched a tennis ball after it was thrown
- automated drink pouring machine (based on RFID tags of patrons)
- automated sensor machine to control temperature difference between two rooms in a house
I'm pretty terrible with coming up with ideas, and I've google'd a few of them. I'm having trouble finding something that would fit the scope of our project length as well (It's an electrical engineering class, so any kind(s) of camera, micro-controller, sensors, servo-motors, etc. can/should be used). Any ideas guys? I'll gladly consider anything mostly.
Cheers!
P.S. I have no imagination
