PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:

Bullying is a major issue in the US and around the world. Many such incidents occur when there are no adults around. Often, it gets ignored and swept under the rug because of 1) stigma 2) lack of evidence. People obviously cannot be at the scene at all times and this becomes a hazard to public and domestic safety. Even with CCTV cameras, there cannot be people at monitoring stations to keep track .

**SOLUTION OVERVIEW:**

Our solution is to design a detection system that takes in the sounds of the environment and alerts authorities if someone, for example, is screaming or shrieking for help. In addition, heat vision and other sensors can analyze the scene to detect when someone is in serious trouble.

**SOLUTION COMPONENTS:**

- Sound input system [Hardware]: Convert sound waves into electrical inputs
- Interface system [Hardware]. Take generated electrical inputs for software analysis
- Training Model [Software] AI-based intelligent system to analyze the input
- Antenna/communication system [Hardware/Software]: Communicate alarm with the receiver or an app
- Feedback system [Hardware]: User-provided feedback at the end of every interaction for improving the model.

**CRITERION FOR SUCCESS:**

Our solution will be successful if

- it can successfully alert another device monitored by an authority when a potential dangerous event takes place.
- Monitoring works continuously without any pauses
- Alerted device is able to give feedback on whether the incident was a false positive or true
- Training model improves with more incidents

Cypress Robot Kit

Featured Project

Cypress is looking to develop a robotic kit with the purpose of interesting the maker community in the PSOC and its potential. We will be developing a shield that will attach to a PSoC board that will interface to our motors and sensors. To make the shield, we will design our own PCB that will mount on the PSoC directly. The end product will be a remote controlled rover-like robot (through bluetooth) with sensors to achieve line following and obstacle avoidance.

The modules that we will implement:

- Motor Control: H-bridge and PWM control

- Bluetooth Control: Serial communication with PSoC BLE Module, and phone application

- Line Following System: IR sensors

- Obstacle Avoidance System: Ultrasonic sensor

Cypress wishes to use as many off-the-shelf products as possible in order to achieve a “kit-able” design for hobbyists. Building the robot will be a plug-and-play experience so that users can focus on exploring the capabilities of the PSoC.

Our robot will offer three modes which can be toggled through the app: a line following mode, an obstacle-avoiding mode, and a manual-control mode. In the manual-control mode, one will be able to control the motors with the app. In autonomous modes, the robot will be controlled based off of the input from the sensors.
