Sixth Sense Design Challenge : Winners Announcement

Sixth Sense Design Challenge: Winners Announcement

After 11+ weeks of designing, researching, prototyping, coding and testing, our Sixth Sense Design Challenge has come to a close.

Our challengers were asked to build an autonomous vehicle with a sixth sense using the STMicroelectronics SensorTile and TE Connectivity sensors.

The judges have tallied up their thoughts and feedback for all 10 challengers, and they have finalized the grand prize and runner up winners, as well as the finishers.

 

We are very pleased to congratulate all the winners of the Sixth Sense Design Challenge, as well as all of its participants!

 

The Winners:

Douglas created an autonomous robot that produces a liquid canvas drawing. The project involves mechanical, electronics, software, and hydraulic design. See all blogs.

Rod wanted to help those working in construction by creating a robot to haul materials like sand or gravel to act as a project assistant.  He made his own PCB to host the TE Magnet sensor so that it would be board mountable. See all blogs.

 

Other Finisher

weiwei2 's Automatic Weeding Robot.

Although this project is unfinished, we loved the novel approach to weeding and even building a (very dangerous looking) Motorized Scissors rig to manage our yards. Project Summary

    i not sure what mystery gift i will have but will have fun. In fact, i look at your post previously about trying achieve the I2C from nucleo board directly to the sensortile. I actually still eager to try that. Have you manage to find a solution?

    Unfortunately I have not got around to looking at it yet, but it is on my 'to do list'. I will mention you if I blog anything on this in the future so you don't miss the details.
