Three mechatronics capstone teams worked with Prof. Giamou over the 2024-2025 school year, and their work was on display at the McMaster Engineering Capstone Expo on April 8th<\/a>. The EyeCan team pictured above with Prof. Giamou developed a system to detect dangerous heat in a kitchen environment and provide haptic feedback through a wearable device for visually impaired persons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Optimal RouteBot team built a planning and navigation solution for a robot shopper. This was achieved by integrating a TurtleBot 4<\/a>‘s localization and mapping stack with a user interface that turned grocery lists into a sequence of waypoints that minimize the chance of fragile foodstuffs being crushed or cold items melting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, team SandMaze built a climbing helmet-mounted localization and mapping solution for crevice caves. Using commodity sensors, they were able to build detailed maps of indoor environments<\/a> and have provided a prototype for experimentation in caves. Congratulations to all three teams! You can find a list of all projects demonstrated at the expo here<\/a>. Kudos to McMaster’s talented engineering students! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
