Page 26.1024.15After students create the URDF Joint Element Parameter given the D-H table they perform, theyconvert it to URDF and display the results in RVIZ to confirm it matches the Fig. 12 axis systemorientation. The a3 parameter is between Joint 3 and Joint 4. The Red axis is x, the Green axis isy and the Blue axis is z in Fig. 13.Lab 4 MOVEIT and Inverse KinematicsThere are two sections to this lab: a) Setup Moveit b) Using Different Planning Algorithms to move robotIn this Lab we took advantage of existing demonstration software that uses the PR2 and 6R Robot.Students set the robots to different start and end states for the PR2 and 6R robots. Students canwatch the robot perform the motion using the planning algorithm from the OMPL

customer, marketing decisions, inalignment with general corporate goals and strategy. Commonly considered as a complex andknowledge demanding process, management of supply chain can interest significantly with theimplementation of RFID technology [1].RFID technology has grown to become a innovative element in supply chain management. RFIDis not just a substitution for barcodes. RFID ensures that accuracy in inventory control and realtime product information available to make decisions. It makes the supply chain significantlymore accurate and improves the reliability and efficiency of the entire chain. As real-timeinformation is made obtainable, planning and administration processes can be extensivelyimproved as well [1]. Applying RFID technology

Shore graduating in Spring 2015. He enjoys the technical aspect of putting a system together to solve engineering problems. When he graduates he hopes to work for a research company as a systems engineer.Mr. Ayokunle Adeyemi Akangbe A, University of Maryland Eastern Shore I was born and raised in Nigeria, but came to the United States when I was twelve years old. I am currently a Sophomore at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore majoring in Mechanical Engineering. After obtaining my bachelor’s degree, I plan on getting my Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering Page 26.720.1

microcontroller. The students incorporated the previouswind tunnel calibration data into their embedded software to provide a complete solution with asimple serial data output interface.A Pitot-static probe was chosen as the first project due to its simplicity of design and previoussuccessful experience with students designing similar probes. The inherent nonlinearity of thepressure sensor output voltage with respect to the air speed provides an opportunity for studentsto apply theory and achieve very good results.4 The nonlinear nature of the probe also lends itselfwell to the use of an embedded lookup table to simplify its use.Managing a multi-year project involves a little forward-thinking and resource planning. Thestudents are given the requirement

trying the new LabView GUIbased version they did not use the older version, at all.Responses to a question asking whether they prefer to use the new “CIE-Bode” or not, 19 out of23 responded with 4 points out of 4, 2 responded with 3 points out of 4 and 2 did not return thequestionnaire. The new GUI based “CIE-Bode” will be the default automated test tool in allElectronics labs from now on. It will also be available to support Controls, Vibrations, andAcoustics courses and their laboratory experiments in the Engineering Department.After the publication of this paper the authors plan to make copies of the run time versionavailable to the public upon request

considering the previously mentioned white papers from NI [7]and [8], as well as consulting with the industry end user for the planned product, a decision wasmade to go with the electromechanical relays over the reed relays. The OKCET laboratoryspecifications required to match the specifications and functionality of their switch matrixsystem. One of these specifications is an allowed switching current of up to 2 A. This highercurrent specification is only available with the bulkier electromechanical relays. There are twodifferent electromechanical relays available that are SwitchBlock compatible, 4x71 and 8x34.The 8x34 card was chosen, because it allows for a minimum of 8 simultaneous connections atany time. The predicted load of the OKCET laboratory
