Helicopters are Cool
6
We are building a modular vision system to solve the problem of in-flight collisions in helicopter operation. The design features OAK-D stereo housed in modular units suitable for attachment to the helicopter's tail, and skid or anywhere else that where a RAM mount fits. Object detection is efficiently processed locally on the module and then transmitted to a central computer via ethernet. The pilot is kept informed with a clear and intuitive GUI that displays object detection information.

MotoEye
7
Motorcyclists are 13.5 times more likely to get into accidents versus any other vehicle driver. MotoEye is a modular forward-facing obstacle detection and notification system for motorcycles. The system is wired to the bike battery ensuring system power for every ride. It features a stereo camera and utilizes a deep neutral network for obstacle detection to notify users via LED signals. MotoEye empowers motorcyclists to make informed decisions with the aim of reducing potential motorcycle accidents and improving rider safety on the roads.

Impact Health
8
Concussions are a commonly occurring injury in high-impact sports, resulting from force trauma to the head or body. This injury can result in serious long and short-term effects, and even impacts that do not result in concussions can cause long-term complications. Impact Health is creating a smart headband that detects impacts to the head and sends alerts when athletes should be taken off the field. The data can also be stored on the user’s account for quantitative analysis by medical professionals.

3D Print Shredder
9
3D printing is a fast-growing manufacturing method due to its ability to rapidly create complex shapes. However, this growth comes with an increase in non-recyclable waste as municipal curbside programs do not accept 3D print waste. The 3D Print Shredder aims to reduce the amount of waste generated by providing a simple way of reducing 3D print waste into a plastic mulch which can then be used in standard pellet extruders to reform the waste into useable filament.

WasteBuddy
12
WasteBuddy is a garbage sorting system takes an image of a piece of garbage and categorizes it using image recognition technology. The system then directs the garbage to the appropriate bin, only opening the corresponding bin for the garbage to be deposited in. This helps streamline the waste management process, ensuring that the garbage is sorted properly, reducing contamination and improving recycling rates. The system is efficient, accurate, and environmentally friendly.

EdgeRunners
13
The current tools used to measure skate blades are manual and prone to human error. Skates with inaccurate blade properties negatively affect skater performance. Our solution, the EdgeRunner, is a digital measurement device that quantifies skate blade properties to provide enhanced quality, precision, and accuracy of the blade, ensuring optimized skater performance.
