Design and develop a modular robot that fulfills multiple functionalities based upon the user’s needs.
The technology to be developed must be able to adapt to changing functional needs. Modularity is paramount, and therefore is to be emphasized throughout the entirety of the project lifecycle. Once software development is completed, the user should only be responsible for adding or removing parts from the robot, allowing the robot to gain or modify its functionality to meet a new need.
The goal for this project is to develop the robot to fit a single use case and developing differing functions to accomplish this use case to meet modularity requirements.

qFlow seeks to optimize stochastic flow charts. Many systems can be modeled as networks of interconnected queues, from emergency rooms to communication in computer networks. It is, however, nontrivial to find optimal configurations for these systems, given factors such as cost and throughput. This project seeks to solve this optimization problem in a way that can be applied to many different fields.

The purpose of this project is to develop reusable framework for quick and easy development of mobile apps that associate a location with information about that location—and then give that location and information relevance to the “user.”

This project is under a Non-disclosure agreement. This project was also already completed by the Potentia engineers. However, the old prototype was hastily made to meet a short deadline and is, therefore, full of software-breaking bugs. The challenge for the ITSS engineering team is to redesign this platform from the ground up. As we develop the platform, we will create intuitive user design dealing with site navigation, form input and validation, and multiple open-ended data visualizations. With a longer timespan and a dedicated team developing the new platform, we expect the project to be finished in the late spring of 2018.ipsun

The goal of our project is to build a CAVE here at Southern Illinois University. A CAVE stands for cave automatic virtual environment. It is a type of virtual reality that immerses the user by creating a unique experience. Unlike traditional virtual reality, the CAVE is a room typically made up of projection screens that make the user feel as if they are actually in the virtual reality. What sets the CAVE apart from other types of virtual reality is that with the CAVE, the user actually has a sense of spatial awareness, and multiple people can be inside the CAVE at once. Our goal is to create a cost effective CAVE for the university, since traditional CAVE systems tend to be very expensive.

The problem at hand is that the way in which DxR Development Group currently handles the creation of
instances of their Clinician software for customers is slow and involved. It requires not only that an
employee make the sale, but also an IT member manually go into their server and run the creation scripts
manually. They want to be able to get the Clinician instance up immediately and with no additional
personal overhead. Our goal with this project is to create a web based application that will allow DxR employees to quickly
and easily create and manage Clinician instances.
