Lafayette’s Electrical and Computer Engineering Department hosted its annual robotics competition last week. The contest has robots designed by students in the Electrical Circuits course taught by Yih-Choung Yu, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering, compete for the coveted ECE 221 Robotic Championship Trophy.

There’s a lot of awesome jobs and fields within the realm of Computer Engineering (my area of study for my undergrad). The one that really clicked with me however was writing code to control computer hardware. It started in a Data Communications class where we had to program these big beefy boards using a language called VHDL. Most of the class hated it and was bored, but it came naturally for me, and at the right time too! I was getting burnt out and was always struggling to learn the more in depth circuit designs we were getting into, but for once something came natural to me!
Anyways, after the class was finished I looked into what I could do with these new found skills, and found the hobby DIY electronics, primarily microcontrollers such as the Arduino. I haven’t done a ton of interesting or groundbreaking work since it’s…

Related to our various AI discussions, I noticed this news: Robot masters new skills through trial and error — ScienceDaily.
Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, have developed algorithms that enable robots to learn motor tasks through trial and error using a process that more closely approximates the way humans learn, marking a major milestone in the field of artificial intelligence.
They demonstrated their technique, a type of reinforcement learning, by having a robot complete various tasks — putting a clothes hanger on a rack, assembling a toy plane, screwing a cap on a water bottle, and more — without pre-programmed details about its surroundings.
…In the world of artificial intelligence, deep learning programs create “neural nets” in which layers of artificial neurons process overlapping raw sensory data, whether it be sound waves or image pixels. This helps the robot recognize patterns and categories among the data it is…

The Electrical Engineering Community (EEWeb.com) somehow found this website and requested to feature Motors Are Fun on its site! What an honor it is to be highlighted by such a successful and auspicious site as EEWeb.
The EEWeb site has several features that could become your stopping point on the way to engineering or science projects. The first page pretty much has all of the topic areas covered: Product news and highlights, the Electronics Forum, Articles and Projects, a section for Featured Engineer, Application Design notes, the Site of the Day, and if you’re interested, a section on Job Listings.
Based on your knowledge of components, the site is a great resource for analog design, RF design, power, connectors, digital integrated circuits (ICs), and more. Each section has design news, design articles, application notes, and questions by members. I enjoyed the Companies link where EEWeb has about 29…

India has already established itself as a business leader on the global platform and is now emerging out to be a global environmental leader. As India’s economy surges ahead, the country shoulders the responsibility to provide better life to the citizens especially to those living in the rural areas.
The rising fuel prices and threats to energy security have made Indian government realize the worth of clean energy. The Modi government seems to be taking concrete measures towards clean energy development, which is not only a much needed means to address environmental issues but is also a way to create plenteous ‘clean jobs’ across the nation. Substantially, electrical engineers would be the most benefitted, as their educational background and expertise would help in mobilizing clean energy from sources such as solar, wind and water. Let us take a quick look as how clean energy will trigger electrical engineering jobs…

Using a smart tablet and a red beam of light, Georgia Institute of Technology researchers have created a system that allows people to control a fleet of robots with the swipe of a finger. A person taps the tablet to control where the beam of light appears on a floor. The swarm robots then roll toward the illumination, constantly communicating with each other and deciding how to evenly cover the lit area. When the person swipes the tablet to drag the light across the floor, the robots follow. If the operator puts two fingers in different locations on the tablet, the machines will split into teams and repeat the process.
The new Georgia Tech algorithm that fuels this system demonstrates the potential of easily controlling large teams of robots, which is relevant in manufacturing, agriculture and disaster areas.
