| Designer's Name | Robot's Name | Robot Description | Affiliation | # | |
| Tsang-Wei (Dan) Huang | BillyBall Bot | BBB will find the basket, line up with the basket, and shoot a nerfball into the hoop, hopefully. Then it will move randomly in the open court, avoiding obstacles, and wait for me to give it the ball. | IMDL | http://www.ecel.ufl.edu/ ~thuang/EEL5666/ | 1 |
| Jay Cushing | Atlas | Atlas is a mapping robot. He will track the perimeter of a room and wirelessly transmit data to a laptop. The laptop will generate a map of the room. | IMDL | http://plaza.ufl.edu/ jaycush/ | 2 |
| Matthew Koenn | FIR (Feline Interaction Robot) | FIR will play with cats using a string. After finding a cat, FIR will move towards it, moving the string in an enticing manner. | REU | http://www.cise.ufl.edu/ ~mkoenn/reu.html | 3 |
| Stephen Corbett | Gimp | Gimp will search for an open flame, move to a position close to the open flame via two legs and extinguish it. | IMDL | http://plaza.ufl.edu/ blue1412/ | 4 |
| Jeffrey Cohen | Fupa | Fupa will follow a high contrast line and stop at cans placed along track. Fupa will then analyze the color of the can it stopped at, and light up the corresponding colored LED. Also, FUPA will knock over all red cans with an extending arm. | IMDL | http://plaza.ufl.edu/ gtlax25/FUPA/ | 5 |
| Kosala Kodikara | NavBot | The robot will map a room and plus a single simple object in the room . The robot will transimit the informtion back to user and the user can give commands to the robot. | IMDL | http://grove.ufl.edu/ ~kosala/navBot/index.htm | 6 |
| Chris Conger | 2-Inch Worm | 2-Inch Worm will climb up trees and telephone poles, then climb back down and tell you how high it got. | IMDL | http://www.hcs.ufl.edu/ ~conger/imdl/2inch.html | 7 |
| James Greco | Robo Hoe | A worker will spray down a line for Robo Hoe to follow and dig along. | REU | http://plaza.ufl.edu/ ~jimgreco | 8 |
| Salman Siddiqui | BoB the Builder | Bob will scan its environment, go to the nearest object, pick it in its shovel and then head towards a designated dumping area to dump it. It will return to its original location to pick up some more. | IMDL | http://plaza.ufl.edu/ fraudia | 9 |
| Arturo G. Codina | balBot | balBot is a two-wheeled self-balancing robot that will roam around a room while maintaining his balance. | IMDL | http://www.eeturo.com/ eel5666c.htm | 10 |
| Tuan Vu | Moneta | Moneta has a multifunctional platform allowing her to perform different tasks. The task she will demonstrate is foraging. She will search for colored objects, grab them with her grippers, then bring them back home to her nest. | REU | http://mil.ufl.edu/~tuanv/ | 11 |
| Robert Lee | F.L.A.M.E | FLAME (Fire Locator And Mechanized Extinguisher) will detect if fire is present and attempt to extinguish it. | IMDL | http://plaza.ufl.edu/ roberto/ | 12 |
| Daniel Wolkenfeld | Stalker | Stalker is a standing robot which balances on two axial wheels (side by side). Stalker uses a pyro sensor to detect mammal body heat. When a heat source is detected, stalker will attempt to follow it until it stops moving for some time. Stalker stands about a meter in height and is a "life sized" robot with a colorful glowing head which turns red when it loses its balance. | REU | http://www.iit.edu/ ~wolkdan/ summer_2004_reu/ stalker.html | 13 |
| Enrique Irigoyen | MightyMouse | MightyMouse is designed to compete in micromouse robot competitions, where the objective to solve an arbitrary maze of 16x16 units squares. The objective is to find the center in the least amount of time. The starting point is one of the corners. | REU | 14 | |
| Keith Stegath | Gropenator | Gropenator, a 5 degree-of-freedom robotic arm, will track and maintain a prescribed distance from an object in the 3-dimensional space surrounding it. | REU | http://plaza.ufl.edu/ kstegath/ | 15 |
| Cyrus Abbaschian | Staple-It | Staple-It will navigate a 2-D surface and insert staples along a heated wire without any human interaction. Abstractly, this simulates stapling a surgical incision. | IMDL | http://plaza.ufl.edu/ cyrusa/ | 16 |
| Bryan Davis | MARVIN | MARVIN (Mobile Autonomous Roving Vehicle with Integrated Navigation) will receive commands wirelessly from a master computer to move to an arbitrary location in a room. If any obstacles are in his way, he will attempt to go around them and still reach the requested location. | IMDL | http://www.cnel.ufl.edu/ ~bryan/marvin/ | 17 |
| Robert Fennell | Cabby | Cabby is an autonomous taxicab robot. Cabby can follow a street and drive to the desired location that is spoken to it. Cabyy also can distinguish red and green signs and act accordingly. | IMDL | http://plaza.ufl.edu/robfen | 18 |
| Kaveh Nowroozi | ToPSoR | ToPSoR will drive around a play area looking for toys (represented by mini soda cans) to pick up and then set them in their appropriate color coded bins placed around the perimeter of the play area. | IMDL | http://www.cise.ufl.edu/ ~knowrooz/eel5666/ | 19 |
| Kevin Kane | Card Shark | Card Shark plays blackjack by driving around and reading the dealers cards and his cards. It then makes places bet acording to its best play stratagy. | IMDL | 20 | |
| Aaron Matthews | ProCoBot | ProCoBot will search for a coffee cup. When it finds one it will determine whether it will pour cafinated or decafinated coffe into it by the colour of the cup. It will also know if it needs coffee or not by measureing the amount of liquid in it. | IMDL | http://plaza.ufl.edu/ amathews/ | 21 |
| Danny Rodriguez | Sharp | Sharp is an autonomous mapping robot. It uses a pair of optical mice to keep track of its position. IR sensors will allow for wall following, and a large LCD Display on the top of the robot will allow the room to be drawn. | REU | http://mil.ufl.edu/~danny/ | 22 |
| Jim Greco, Alan Melling, Nathaniel Walizer, Aaron Chinault | NOMAD | NOMAD is a six wheeled-robot similar to the Sojourner vehicle that explored the surface of Mars several years ago. | REU | http://mil.ufl.edu/ ~nathanw/roboter/rover/ | 23 |
| Paul Dutka, David Kallenborn, Chris Takahashi, Nathaniel Walizer | Guyver | Guyver is a talking head that can also understand a limited vocabulary. | REU | http://plaza.ufl.edu/ dutkaman/guyver/ | 24 |
| Nathaniel Walizer | The Tagbots | The aptly-named Tagbots are little five-and-a-half-inch diameter, three-inch-tall robots that will putter about, playfully cornering and evading each other, playing the delightful and timeless game of Tag. | REU | http://mil.ufl.edu/~nathanw/roboter/ | 25 |
| Rolando Panez, William Dubel, Alex Silverman, Karl Dockendorf, Johnny Godowski, Enrique Abdon Irigoyen, Brian Pietrodangelo | SubjuGator | This robot and the team will be in San Diego during the demo and thus unable to show the robot. | REU/MIL | http://www.mil.ufl.edu/ subjugator/ | 26 |
