Weapon Aiming System

Abstract

This project aims to develop a conceptual prototype of a weapon aiming system that simulates an anti-aircraft gun. Utilizing an optical camera, the system detects moving objects and calculates their trajectories in real time. The results are then used to control a motorized laser pointer with two degrees of freedom (DoF) of rotation, enabling it to aim at the predicted position of the target. Our system is built on the Raspberry Pi platform, employing machine vision software. The object motion tracking functionality was developed using the OpenCV library, based on color detection algorithms. Experimental results indicate that the system successfully detects the movement of a tennis ball at a rate of 30 frames per second (fps). The current phase involves designing and integratively testing the mechanical system for precise laser pointer position control. This project exemplifies the integration of knowledge in electronics (computer programming) and mechanical engineering (motor control).

The extraction of prebiotic from spent coffee grounds

Spent coffee grounds (SCG) are a byproduct of the coffee brewing process, and their quantity continues to increase due to the growing global coffee consumption. SCG contain beneficial compounds such as polysaccharides, dietary fibers, and antioxidants, which can be utilized in various applications, including prebiotic extraction. This study focuses on extracting prebiotics from SCG using acid hydrolysis and enzymatic hydrolysis methods to evaluate their potential in promoting the growth of beneficial gut microorganisms. The expected results of this research include adding value to coffee industry waste, reducing organic waste, and providing a sustainable approach to developing prebiotic products for use in the food and health industries. Furthermore, this study aligns with sustainable resource utilization and environmentally friendly practices.
