| Rachel Hoffman | DrumBot | DrumBot interprets the "air drumming" motion of a user and plays the corresponding drums on a drum set. | IMDL | https://sites.google.com/site/rachelhoffmanimdl/ | 1 |
| Emotion Silvestri | Jacques | A diligent roaster of marshmallows, Jacques seeks out a nearby campfire and positions himself in close enough proximity to roast. A custom turret-mounted thermoprobe/rotisserie spins the marshmallow and measures a core temperature. When cooked just right, Jacques returns with the campfire treat! | IMDL | http://emotionsilvestri.wix.com/project-site | 2 |
| Chengtao Wang | Ferriclean Bot | Ferriclean Bot can pick items like nails or paper clips on the floor in a planned path. She can also recognize specific figures and park nearby | IMDL | https://sites.google.com/site/ctwrobot | 3 |
| Zack Bell | ZMAPS Red Bot Blue Bot | ZMAPS (Zack's Mapping Squad) Red Bot Blue Bot is a team of two robots that work together to build maps of rooms. Red Bot uses a camera on a pan and tilt mechanism to follow an object placed on Blue Bot. Red Bot uses this information to find the position of Blue Bot and updates an occupancy map to show the locations Blue Bot has traveled. | IMDL | https://sites.google.com/site/zacksimdlmappingsquad/ | 4 |
| Michael Miller | LCAC | The LCAC (Landing Craft Air Cushion) hovercraft is meant to pay homage to the US Navy's assault hovercraft of the same name. It hovers using one fan for lift and two for propulsion, She will maneuver between two specified targets. | IMDL | https://sites.google.com/site/michaelmillerimdlblog/home | 5 |
| Joey Siracusa | Hamster Transport Vehicle (HTV) | HTV is an is a transportation vehicle for me, Frank. (Full disclosure: I am a hamster.) HTV navigates an obstacle course using a LIDAR and sonars, and can drop me off at a desirable destination so that my pet human, Joey, can show off to his friends. | IMDL | https://sites.google.com/site/joeys7robot/ | 6 |
| Christopher Cruise | Vetovi | Vetovi is a pair of autonomous RC cars which can map and navigate through a simulated urban environment. The cars can also communicate over a network to improve mapping and path planning to navigate their environment more effectively. | IMDL | https://ccruiserobots.wordpress.com/ | 7 |
| Feiyu Yang | WaCFER | WaCFER (Water Clean & Fire Extinguishing Robot) detects water sources, extracts water from the sourse, and then puts out a detected fire with the water. | IMDL | https://sites.google.com/site/yangfeiyu5666c/blog | 8 |
| Patrick Kelly | Grab-O-Matic 6000 | Grab-O-Matic 6000 seeks out targets (ping pong balls) to retrieve with a vacuum gripper. She will then return them to a designated drop zone. | IMDL | https://sites.google.com/site/pkimdlblog/ | 9 |
| John Sinibaldi | CARV | CARV is a monowheel robot, i.e., one large wheel, with all electronic components housed internally. | IMDL | https://sites.google.com/site/imdlblogbsinibaldi/ | 10 |
| Kristian Gonzalez | Wanderbot | Wanderbot use computer vision and an IMU to deliver an item and to find his way back home. | IMDL | https://sites.google.com/site/wanderbotimdl/ | 11 |
| Kevin French | Kip C Droid | Kip C Droid (Kinect Point cloud Odroid) is a uses the Microsoft Kinect to perform advanced perceptual feats. Kip C will traverse obstacle courses, identify specific 3-D shapes, and mimic a competitor of the RoboBoat competition by completing a modified challenge list. | IMDL | https://sites.google.com/site/imdlfnivek/ | 12 |
| Ralph Leyva | Gömböt | Gömböt is self balancing robot that will detect and avoid any obstacles he encounters. | IMDL | http://rfleyva.wordpress.com/ | 13 |
| Lukas Christensen | RoboSAR | Using an impulse radar, RoboSAR locates and investigates movement among a cluttered environment. RoboSAR specifically looks for breathing motion to find a human in a simulated search-and-rescue. | IMDL | https://sites.google.com/site/robosarblog/home | 14 |
| Patrick Walters, Jason Nezvadovitz, Matthew Griessler, Andy Gray, Israelle Widjaja, Forrest Voight, Brian Lucas, … | SubjuGator, UF's Robot Submarines | SubjuGator is an autonomous submarine. Our latest SubjuGator is one of seven that we have built over the last 17 years. Our subs are a past world champions, having won 3 world championships over the last 9 years, and came in second in 2012, 2013, and 2014. | MIL | http://subjugator.org/ | 1 |
| Andrew Gray, Daniel Frank, Matthew Griessler, Forrest Voight, Jake Easterling, ... | PropaGator UF's Robot Boat | PropaGator is an autonomous boat. Our 2013 team won the RoboBoat world championship in their first of competition and our 2014 team came in second. | MIL | http://propagator.org/ | 2 |
