Our team\, focusing on the comput er and electrical engineering side\, is responsible for building and progr amming this device to support nature-based climate solutions. Urban areas face serious climate-related challenges—poor air quality\, rising temper atures from the heat island effect\, and a loss of biodiversity. There’s a clear need for solutions that not only monitor environmental conditions but also support ecological restoration in a scalable\, affordable way. U nfortunately\, most current technologies fall short in integration\, usabi lity\, or cost. That’s where Stomata comes in. Our device measures key e nvironmental factors like air quality\, soil moisture\, pH\, and electrica l conductivity\, with real-time data visualized through a mobile app. It ’s designed to be easy to replicate\, making it a strong candidate for d eployment in other urban areas or academic settings. Ultimately\, this pro ject lays the groundwork for smarter\, more accessible environmental monit oring and offers a practical solution that we’re piloting right here at the University of Cincinnati.\nTeam members: Khadija Coulibaly\, Perry Joh nson\, Hamza Khairy\nAdvisors: Dr. Drew McAvoy\n\nMiami University\n\nTeam 1:\nProject Title: 3D Printed Vertical Takeoff and Landing Aircraft\n\nAb stract: Our team's goal is to create a fully functional fixed-wing airplan e capable of vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL)\, both manually and auton omously\, with integrated payload carry and release capabilities. Unlike p ast teams\, our team 3D printed and assembled parts to construct the airfr ame\, which is reinforced with carbon fiber rods.\nTeam members: Aiden Hal ey\, Andrew LaMendola\, Ashtin Reip\, John Tomtishen\nAdvisor: Prof. Jim L eonard\n\nTeam 2:\nProject Title: Duplo Mindstorm\nAbstract: The Duplo Min dstorm project explores the design and development of a servo and sensor s ystem for a Duplo-based robot. The project required a combination of 3D pr inting\, modeling\, and hardware integration to ensure compatibility and f unctionality with Duplo. Components are housed in custom 3D-printed Duplo blocks\, allowing for versatile robot designs\, similar to Mindstorms from Lego.\n\nTeam members: Dana Clark\, Cody Radabaugh\, Sam Stage\, Tommy Tr inh\nAdvisor: Dr. Peter Jamieson\n\nNorthern Kentucky University\n\nTeam 1 :\nProject Title: All-Terrain Autonomous Guided Vehicle\n\nAbstract: The d emand for ongoing innovation has increased over recent years due to the po sitive impact spread across a multitude of industries. While the versatili ty and application varies upon industry and industry needs\, one challenge is known across all industries\; that is\, being able to create a durable robot while being affordable. This project aims to design an innovative a ll-terrain autonomous guided vehicle\, or rather all-terrain AGV with the ability to navigate both an indoor and outdoor environment in addition to being cost effective. The project encompasses crucial designs such as addi ng four tracks and a suspension for the outdoor environment\, adding a cam era to track objects and overall placement of the robot’s location\, and using a RPLIDAR sensor to map out the given surroundings. Alongside this\ , we’ll be using a NVIDIA Jetson Nano using Python to control the robot in addition to a remote to ensure that the robot can move by manual operat ion alongside being autonomous. Ensuring the robot is affordable\, durable \, and flexible given the environment it’s surrounded by is crucial for the robot\, and the project aims to offer a sustainable solution for any i ndustry while being able to perform tasks alongside being able to carry li ght objects within any environment.\nTeam members: Conner Degarmoe\, Trevo r Harms\, Chase Gordon\nAdvisor: Dr. Mahdi Yazdanpour\n\nTeam 2:\nProject Title: Will be announced soon!\n\nRoom: Brewhouse\, March First Brewing & Distilling\, 7885 E Kemper Rd\, Cincinnati\, Ohio\, United States\, 45249 LOCATION:Room: Brewhouse\, March First Brewing & Distilling\, 7885 E Kemper Rd\, Cincinnati\, Ohio\, United States\, 45249 ORGANIZER:davehernandezpe@gmail.com SEQUENCE:9 SUMMARY:IEEE Cincinnati April 2025 Meeting URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/477798 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p style="line-height: 1.4\;"><span style="co lor: rgb(0\, 0\, 0)\; background-color: rgb(241\, 196\, 15)\;"><strong>UC\ , MU\, and NKU Senior Design/Capstone Projects</strong></span></p>\n<p sty le="line-height: 1.4\;"><strong><u>University of Cincinnati</u></strong></ p>\n<p style="line-height: 1.4\;">Team 1:</p>\n<p style="line-height: 1.4\ ;">Project Title:&nbsp\;<strong>Analog Synthesizer with MIDI Control and D igital Effects</strong></p>\n<p style="line-height: 1.4\;">Abstract: A cus tom monophonic\, modular\, Euro-rack mountable analog synthesizer consisti ng of two Voltage Controlled Oscillators\, a Voltage Controlled Filter\, a nd a Mixer was combined with a Euro-rack mountable Digital Effects Bank po wered by an Electrosmith Daisy Seed to create awesome sounds for recording and live performances.</p>\n<div style="line-height: 1.4\;">Team members: Dan String\, Jordan Smith\, Justin Wade</div>\n<div style="line-height: 1 .4\;">Advisor: Dr. Wei Wei</div>\n<div style="line-height: 1.4\;">&nbsp\;< /div>\n<div style="line-height: 1.4\;">Team 2:</div>\n<div style="line-hei ght: 1.4\;">&nbsp\;</div>\n<p style="line-height: 1.4\;">Project Title:<st rong>&nbsp\;Stomata\, Green Toolkit</strong></p>\n<p style="line-height: 1 .4\;">Abstract: The Stomata project introduces a fresh\, innovative approa ch to tackling urban climate change by pairing sustainable ecosystem desig n with a modular\, cost-effective environmental monitoring device.
