For our Electrical and Computer Engineering Capstone Senior Design project we have chosen to build an autonomous motion-detecting turret. Using cameras, the turret will be able to detect motion, track a moving target, then launch some type of projectile (a foam disk or dart) at its moving target. The project will have a touch screen LCD to display the output of the cameras as they track the moving target, as well as allow for user options to control the turret. This project contains significant challenges that span across multiple areas of the field of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Aspects of power distribution, interfacing multiple cameras and processors, and mechanical engineering will all need to be addressed successfully in order to have a working project.
