# TITLE
Intelligent robot arm

# PROBLEM
For individuals with disabilities or limited mobility, it is hard for them to perform certain or multiple taskes. Or under some circumstances, the task is repetitive and boring for human. We want to design a intelligent robot arm that help disabilities and free people from repetitive work.

# SOLUTION OVERVIEW
Our graduation project aims to conceptualize an intelligent robotic arm, proficient in executing diverse tasks through voice and visual recognition. The overarching concept involves a user verbally identifying an object on a table to the robot. The robot, upon receiving the voice command, leverages its camera system to detect the specified object and subsequently manipulate it.

In addition to these fundamental functionalities, the system is designed to interpret intricate voice instructions, such as rotating the object to specific degrees based on predefined references or following a set reference for movement. This innovative project harbors the potential to significantly benefit individuals with visual impairments in managing their daily tasks, as well as aiding those facing critical situations, such as during fires or earthquakes.

# SOLUTION COMPONENTS

# SUBSYSTEM 1
Four or five axis robotics arms

# SUBSYSEM 2

An algorithm that can control the robotics arms to move and grab things

# SUBSYSEM 3

A robotics vision system that contains a camera and an algorithm that can detect certain object and its relative position to the robotic arm

# SUBSYSTEM 4

A voice recognition system that contains a microphone and an algorithm that can recognize what objects that a person is speaking of.

# CRITERION FOR SUCCESS

1. The robotics arm is able to receive and process the relative position of an object that is sent by robotics vision system and grab the target using those information.
2. Robotics vision system is able to detect object and measure the relative position of it and feeds back to the robotics arm
3. Voice recognition system is able to recognize what objects that a person is speaking of and feed back to the robotics vision system.

Mimicry Stage Lighting Control System

Haozhe Chen, Ruiqi Li, Anqi Tan, Zhaohua Yang

Featured Project

This project aims to build a mimicry stage lighting control system. Generally speaking, the direction control system (usually a robot arm) will imitate the movements of the operator's arms so that the direction of the light can be controlled arbitrarily. In addition, the color of the light array can be determined by either the operator or the inherent information extracted from the music that is being played. Also, the whole system can be built in small size and can be installed easily, so that it can be deployed in scenarios like home parties.

More specifically, an operator (mostly a presenter or DJ) holds (or wears) a control device, the joystick, in each hand. The joysticks track the movement of each arm and transmit the direction information to the central server. This information is then processed and redirected to the mounted projector light arrays to control the actual direction of beams. Each hand controls each side of the lighting array. The system can also memorize a period of movement and playback. Besides, the color of the lights can be manually determined or be automatically determined by the rhythm or tempo of the music being played. The movement of the light gimbal can even be determined by the inherent feature of music.
