Project Ideas
1. Automatic Re-Forestation Robot
- 
Would have four wheels
- 
Controlled using DC motor or PWM
 
 - 
 - 
Controlled using MCU
- 
Arduino
 
 - 
 - 
Be able to perform all the following functions
- 
Hold seeds
 - 
Plant seeds
 - 
Drill hole for seeds in soil
 - 
Ability to keep inventory of seeds
 - 
Refillable water tank
 - 
Measure ph
 - 
Measure EC (if possible)
 
 - 
 -

 - 
 
​

2. Automated Lawnmower
- 
Would have four wheels
 - 
Be able to perform the following function
 - 
Mow lawn
 - 
Measure perimeter of lawn
 - 
Variable cut length
 - 
Clean Energy
 - 
Solar Power
 - 
Battery (?)
 

3. Smart Fridge
- 
Be able to hold inventory
 - 
Be able to scan barcodes
- 
Look up database for standard barcoded products
 
 - 
 - 
Possible RFID tags in or on product so when the product leaves
 - 
Could incorporate Scales to keep track of inventory automatically
- 
Would recognize the difference in weight and be able to update data upon this
 
 - 
 - 
Working tablet to display inventory
- 
Tablet could either be done using RPI
 
 - 
 

4. GPS Dog / Cat collar
- 
Would work for either Cat or dog
 - 
Would have three different levels or stages to tracking
- 
If close enough to general Wi-Fi that is connected, then you know your pet would be safe inside your house
- 
So it would go into low power mode
 
 - 
 - 
If your Wi-Fi signal is weaker than a certain DB level, then you would know that it is possibly in the yard or not right near your house
- 
Start to turn on GPS or Wi-Fi tracking or Bluetooth energy
 
 - 
 - 
Finally, if your pet would go outside of a designated “fence” or yard area, then your app would notify you of this
 
 - 
 - 
Heat map of where your pet is in, when given map or plot of land
 - 
Graphical representation of activity of pet throughout the day
- 
Bar Graph
 
 - 
 - 
Since you don’t want to constantly buy a new collar you would make it be rechargeable battery
- 
Thinking something along the lines of having a station where you plug it into a station and would have a led to show status of said batter
- 
App would also relay this information
 
 - 
 
 - 
 - 
Would have to be waterproof
- 
Reasons:
- 
Would jump in pool? Wouldn’t want to harm pet
 
 - 
 
 - 
 - 
Push notifications if cat gets up and walks around after long nap?
- 
Possibly warn you if your cat/dog have been sitting around for extended amount of time
 
 - 
 

5. Baby Car seat monitor
- 
Help parents from forgetting child in vehicle
 - 
Would incorporate sensors to be able to tell difference between human and objects
 - 
Ability to determine if car is on by use of vibration sensor
 - 
Determine if car is moving
 - 
Adjustable Vibration Sensor
 - 
Variable temperature sensor
- 
So parents could adjust the temperature threshold
 
 -
