IMDL Spring 2007

In the Spring of 2007, I took EEL 5666, Intelligent Machines Design Laboratory, taught by Drs. Schwartz and Arroyo. For this class, I designed "Tom", a robot designed to catch Jerry.

Tom rapidly roams the room in search of his prey Jerry, smoothly turning to avoid obstacles. Tom possesses a rotating servo motor scanning for Jerry's infrared signature. When he detects the infrared, he will attempt to move in that direction. Tom and Jerry communicate game status using an RF link from www.sparkfun.com.
