ECE 4006 Project Proposal and Presentation: Group Name: Altera NIOS Robot Group

The Altera NIOS Robot Group proposes a project to use an Altera NIOS board to control an Amigobot robot for object tracking and avoidance. The robot will use sonar sensors to detect moving objects, and the NIOS board will calculate distances and speeds to determine motor control signals to track and avoid objects. Key tasks include interfacing the sonar sensors with the NIOS serial port, designing a RISC processor to process sensor data and control motors, and implementing object tracking and avoidance algorithms by the demonstration deadline in July.
