UPenn Projects

• ECar
• 75 - It seems like this kind of thing has been done before and is a little exhausted, and it didn't even look very polished. But, it does function as intended.
• Dance with your Hands!
• 75 - I like that it's using new technology, and it's a good idea, but the implementation looks a little clunky.
• Pokemon Stadium 350
• 90 - Reusing the old technology is a nice touch. The idea is great and could be made into a more polished toy that I could envision making a lot of money, especially if it carried the Pokemon brand.
• Rhex Box
• 80 - This looks surprisingly well constructed, and it's using new technology, but I don't know what you could really use it for.
• Automatic Chess Player
• 95 - I think this could have been implemented with an Arduino or a RaspberryPi instead which would make it more practical. Other than that, this is really cool!
• Sign Master 9000
• 90 - Seems like it could be useful, although it could get frustrating to use.
• Kinecto-Vision
• 95 - With more development, this could be an essential tool for anyone who is vision impaired. It uses inexpensive technology, and it's simple to use. 
• FPS 360
• 85 - It seems to be implemented fairly well. The only downside is that I'd imagine that it could be hazardous to be moving around without looking where you're going.
• Unviersal Glove Controller
• 80 - There seemed to be too much delay and problems with the sensitivity for it to be usable, but with more polish, it could be great.
• Greenengineering (2010-11 Senior Design)
• 70 - I'm sure there was a lot going on in the back-end, but the GUI was lacking too much polish.
• R.A.V.E.N (2010-11 Senior Design)
• 50 - It's a cool idea, but it was all talk. They never demonstrated it.
• High Speed Water Purification System for Developing Countries
• 95 - Seems like a genius idea and implementation, and it really seems like they know what they're doing, but they didn't demonstrate any before and after water purifications.
• Street Solutions
• 95 - I like that this is a mobile app. The website looks fairly polished. This is a great idea.
• Energy Performance Rating of Penn Buildings
• 95 - Great idea, and the GUI was nicely done. Deals with important issues.
• AccuEnergy
• 80 - Good idea and lots of data, but no demonstration.
• Electronic Pitch Trainer
• 100 - Incredibly well-done. Very nice idea with potential to make money, and I can see many other applications for this.
• Stadium Express
• 90 - Good idea, and it seems to work great. Just needs more polish.
• AutoPlug
• 95 - Great idea that scratches the surface of an even greater, bigger idea.
• Urban Energy Consumers as Solar Energy Producers
• 75 - Lots of good information, but no demonstration.
• Economic Network Model
• 80 - There was good information, but they didn't show the GUI that they mentioned.
• Sustainable Rainforest Solutions
• 90 - Lots of research done. Looks promising. Deals with real issues. Nice GUI.
• Spam Detection on Wikipedia
• 80 - Deals with a real problem. Seems well thought out, but there's no demonstration.
• Winds Up!
• 60 - Lots of research, and the GUI was a nice touch, but the GUI didn't look very polished, and it didn't look like many design aspects were demonstrated.
• Detection of Pneumonia by Computer-Aided Auscultation
• 100 - Very well researched. Tons of good information. Great idea that tried to solve a real problem. Incredibly well-polished.
• Intelligent Information Systems for Technical Trading Analysis
• 80 - Useful applications in the real world. Could use more polish, and could be a little more user-friendly.
