Car Controller

Using the existing infrastructure for autonomous helicopter flight, students will equip a small radio-controlled car with sensors so that it can localize itself, then write a controller in Simulink to have the car do things such as follow a line autonomously.

Controlling Robots

Students will use a Max232 to adapt a Lego Mindstorms robot to use bluetooth communication, then using java, will have the robot explore a maze, communicate the layout of the maze back to a computer, then build a controller to allow the robot to be driven from the computer screen.

Synchronous MOC Robots

Using the synchronous-reactive model of computation, students will build various controllers for the Lego Mindstorm robots.

Three-Tank System

Students will use Simulink/Stateflow to build a model of the three tank system, then design Stateflow controllers and run those on the actual system, and also perform diagnosis experiments. May also focus on adaptive control if time permits.

TRUST Project

Students will build a meta-model for modeling a system with nodes and networks and for embedding attack graphs. They will then build a model interpreter to do analysis on the attack graph.
