  • Hephaestus

    Gesture-based 3D modelling system to give a hands-on, intuitive introduction to CAD modelling. Team Members: Vikalp Jain, Noah Betik, Tyler Moss, Vaibhav Gogia, Derek Joab Serrano.
  • EPALLET PLATOON

    It is a Human-following electric pallet which can load cargos to reduce labour resource. It also can have multiple pallets following at the back as a platoon. Team Members: Chinghung Tan, Hairong Bao, Boxi Liu, Enyu Liu, Yuhan Cui.
  • Intelligent Parking System

    The project involves developing a smart, space-saving parking lot simulation system capable of efficiently stacking cars both vertically and horizontally, akin to books on a shelf. This approach significantly enhances the parking lot's capacity to accommodate more vehicles. Team Members: Ziming Liu, Zikai Wang, Wenjie Zhang, Weilun Xu.
  • Rock Climbing Remote Correction Device

    Our device helps keeping the climber from deviating the set route by constantly observing and comparing the climber’s location with the designated climbing course. Then sound or radio message will be sent to the climber to make correction. Team Members: Shishangbo Yu, Jiaoyang Bi, Yuchen Xie, Jishen Wang, Cheng Fei.
  • AlgaeAlert

    AlgaeAlert is an all-in-one solution to remote water quality monitoring, meant to alleviate concerns when swimming in remote lakes or rivers. It is built using a Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and a number of water sensors meant to collect information about the water's quality that are used to warn users about possible danger via an array of LEDs and a Python-based webapp. Team Members: John Eriksson, Hanxiao Chang, Ansh Mistry, Viraj Pereira.
  • Custom RISC-V Image Processor

    Demonstrate the modularity and performance benefits of RISC-V by showcasing the faster processor times from extending the instruction sets of an existing RISC-V CPU. Team Members: Evan Liang, Loana Vo, Rocco Mak, Vinay Gajjar, Austin Zheng.
  • MyLoad

    MyLoad is a weight-sensitive trailer hitch that acts as a driver's aid, providing real-time readings for vertical and horizontal forces applied to the vehicle, to ensure safe towing for all recreational trailer owners. Team Members: Carina Caughy, Cassandra Goodhand, Haofeng (Frank) Liu, Junchen (Jason) Zhu.
  • Fit Reflect

    A real-time weightlifting movement tracking system that integrates computer vision, sensors, and a smart mirror. This system will monitor weightlifting form continuously, providing users with real-time feedback for safe and effective workouts. Team Members: Adarsh Patel, Sagaanan Ganeshathasan, Siddharth Dhanasekar, Ismat Ekanto.
  • Assistive Arm Enhancement Exoskeleton

    Assistive Arm Enhancement Exoskeleton is a wearable device that aids individuals with limited arm strength or mobility. It helps enhance their ability to lift heavy items or perform repeating arm-related tasks. Team Members: Yuying Lai, Yu Pan, Shangkun Zhuang, Xuanzhou Ma.
  • Auto-Dimming Lightbulb System

    We developed an innovative Auto-Dimming Lightbulb system designed to optimize the lighting conditions in a room while ensuring a specified level of lumens is maintained. This project aims to enhance energy efficiency and reduce electricity consumption by automatically adjusting the brightness of lightbulbs based on real-time lumen measurements. The primary goal is to offer a sustainable lighting solution for public spaces interested in energy and cost savings. Team Members: Abigail Domingues, Laura Polga, Matthew Huang, Luis Fabregas Mejia.
  • Rocket based delivery system

    Fully autonomous self-landing model rocket. Proof of concept design for rocket-based time urgent delivery. Team Members: Saffat Ahmed, Peter Shim, Eric Liu, Inderveer Dhanda, Sean Newell, Ali Raza.
  • Autonomous, remote-monitored greenhouse

    This project is a small-scale, self-sustaining greenhouse that can autonomously grow a variety of plants via controlled grow lights & irrigation. The plant growth trends can be monitored remotely and the greenhouse behavior can be modified in real-time. Team Members: Christian Schaible, Lucas Correia, Jason Liu, Idriss Drissi Smaili, Jameson Huynh.
  • EyeSketch Pro

    The purpose of the project is to enable users to draw freely on an output screen using only their eye movements. Once this capability has been established and its accuracy has been proven, it can be applied in various situations, not limited to entertainment, but also to assist with their everyday needs. Team Members: Lifeng Mei, Hao Wu, Zhaohan Wang, Yifan Qi.
  • Real Talk

    The Real-Talk is a portable device that seamlessly translates American Sign Language (ASL) into audible speech in near-real-time to bridge the communication barrier between non-ASL and ASL users. Team Members: Ronnie Mushegera, Hritheekka Chinnakonda, Saarah Ahmed, Azen Cardozo, Andrew Adam.
  • inSight

    A smart mobility vest designed to aid visually impaired individuals in navigating sidewalks and avoiding obstacles. Team Members: Chris Leung, Lekh Shukla, Zixuan Huang, Saffi Haider.
  • The Sleepy

    At home sleep apnea detection device. Team Members: Ria Kalirai, Jakob (Koby) Welman, Charlotte Duncan, Victoria Nguyen, Jeryn Anthonypillai.
  • Active walker guide

    The project develops a set of auxiliary equipment with voice assistance to improve the travel experience of people with visual impairments and disabilities. With the aid of walker, camera, various types of sensors and voice output. Team Members: Tianhong (Eric) Chen, Baoqi Zhu, Zhenyu Zhao, Zikai Yang.
  • Widely Compatible Digital Pen

    Our project focuses on developing an innovative digital pen that offers an enhanced alternative to traditional digital input devices by integrating the adaptability of wireless mice, and the intuitive feel of stylus pens. Utilizing optical tracking technology, our pen provides wide compatibility and an exceptional writing experience, catering to devices that lack stylus pen support, such as desktops with enhanced portability compared to conventional digital drawing tablets. Team Members: Cheng Su, Zhengda Li, Ke Sun, Jinrong Liu, Guangyi Wang.
