Hi, the scope of our project involves a vehicle with webcam that can be controlled remotely by Wifi/4G. We will also build a website which will allow users such as tourists to log in and take control of the vehicle and take a virtual time of their site of interest in real time. After the 'tour', the user can log out and the next user can take control of the vehicle.

There are some cool features for our project:
1. Our vehicle has a collision avoidance system to protect our car from unpredictable hazards.
To implement this feature, we will use Ultrasonic sensors to build an environment detector. it will feedback data to our microcontroller and the microcontroller will send out control signal to either change the direction of the car to avoid the object or make it stop.
2. Our vehicle has two driving modes: manual control by keyboard or automatic control via GPS navigation system.
To implement this feature, we will use a GPS and program some patterns for the car to follow.
3. Our vehicle has a path memory feature. It will remember the path and go back to where it is started. This feature will allow users simply log out the website when the tour is finished and do not need to drive the car back.
To implement this feature, we will use our microcontroller to remember the speed and direction of our motor, and run it backward.
4. Our vehicle can tour many people at the same time. The webcam can be viewed by different people at different places from different web pages at the same time.

The proposal our group has is of creating a board that will be able to teach students about logic circuits hands on. The project will consist of a board and different pieces that represent gates. The board will be used to plug in the pieces and provide power to the internal circuitry of the pieces. The pieces will have a gate and LEDs inside, which will be used to represent the logic at the different terminals.

By plugging in and combining gates, students will be able to see the actual effect on logic from the different combinations that they make. To add to it, we will add a truth table that can be used to represent inputs and outputs required, for example, for a class project or challenge. The board will be able to read the truth table and determine whether the logic the student has created is correct.

This board can act as a great learning source for students to understand the working of logic circuits. It can be helpful in teaching logic design to students in high schools who are interested in pursuing a degree in Electrical Engineering.

Please comment on whether the project is good enough to be approved, and if there are any suggestions.

Thank you
