A student project for AHSE1500: Foundations of Business and Entrepreneurship (taught in Spring 2006) featuring an Olin College themed tradable card game. It consists of cards of students, professors, locations, and events.
This record contains the Final Report for the project and scanned images of all the cards in the game.
Unmanned ground robotic systems have replaced humans in performing many hazardous missions in our country's current conflicts. These systems are largely teleoperated today, but will become increasingly autonomous. One possible role for future semi-autonomous ground robots is leading convoys of human-occupied vehicles. Inexpensive and accurate position and orientation detection of the lead craft are desirable to control the semi-autonomous vehicle. The MIT Lincoln Laboratory SCOPE team developed an affordable prototype system for the lead and follow vehicles to enable accurate control of an autonomous leader robot. This system integrated a variety of sensors in order to provide reliable and accurate position and orientation data. This work was sponsored by the Department of the Air Force under Air Force.

The Rockwell Automation SCOPE team worked to provide an out-of-box quality control sensor for automation applications. Quality control sensors need to provide fast inspection capabilities for factories to ensure continuous quality of products. The team also looked into business opportunities for the sensor in line with Rockwell Automation’s industrial customer base. The team optimized the current sensor and made improvements. They also explored market segments where the sensor could make a significant impact on a factory’s quality control and automation processes.
