Team Evasion members Ryan Biggs, Daniel Geschwender, Courtney Ingersoll and Travis Sweeter were first place winners for their project ELUDE: Evasive Locomotion Utilized During Excursion.
ELUDE is a navigational system that allows a quadcopter to follow a predetermined set of waypoints while taking evasive maneuvers to avoid incoming projectiles.
Evasion created this project for their capstone course CSE 487/489 under the instruction of Dr. Myra Cohen and Dr. Byrav Ramamurthy, ILAB Director Casey Tubbs and Graduate Teaching Assistant Jeff Zhang.
All projects were judged by a panel of EE and CSE faculty for technical merit, level of difficulty, presentation and usefulness. The ELUDE project tied for first place in a competition that featured 10 EE and CSE projects.
Evasion will hold a friendly competition Wednesday, May 7 at 9 a.m. in the Cook Pavilion with two CSE senior design teams.
