. Additionally, senior projects motivate students to contribute to ECE education by exploring new technologies and developing innovative solutions that can benefit society. Through their senior projects, students can learn the importance of collaboration, project management, and communication skills, which are critical in the field of ECE. Our team, which has 9 students, in this project has a unique opportunity to work on sensor fusion algorithms and tracking for autonomous systems sponsored by industry and have some feedback from them. Autonomous systems trust a set of sensors that provide data about the surrounding environment to feed the perception system. These sensor sets typically include LIDAR, cameras, ultrasound
