Projects

Fourteen systems, built by students on a bench in Nsukka.

Every project here was designed, assembled, programmed and debugged by members. Some are finished and deployed; the rest are still pending on the bench.

Built & working

Completed systems

These made it past the prototype stage — populated boards, printed enclosures, flashed firmware, and testing outside the lab.

Completed CNG Protect

CNG Protect

A smart IoT-blockchain device that monitors compressed-natural-gas cylinders — pressure, integrity and custody — signed on the device and verifiable on chain. Now a company of its own.

IoTBlockchainSafety
Completed Joint-Agent IDE

Joint-Agent IDE

An autonomous agent for embedded development — it writes firmware, compiles, debugs and flashes real hardware from one browser tab. Spun out of this lab into its own product.

SoftwareEmbeddedAI Agent
Completed

Line Following Robot

The classic controls exercise done properly — sensor array, tuned PID loop, and a chassis the team built in-house. Press play to watch it track the line.

VideoRoboticsControlPID
Completed Smart Solar Power Measurement System

Smart Solar Power Measurement System

Measures and logs output across up to six solar panels at once, comparing passive fins, forced air and water cooling on a live rooftop deployment.

EnergyTelemetrySensors
Completed Bluetooth Six-Wheel Terrain Climber

Bluetooth Six-Wheel Terrain Climber

A six-wheel rover driven over Bluetooth, built to keep traction and stay level on the broken ground around campus.

RoboticsMechanicalControl
Completed Smart Walking Stick for the Blind

Smart Walking Stick for the Blind

Ultrasonic ranging with haptic and audible feedback, so a user feels an obstacle before they reach it. Field-tested on open ground.

Assistive TechSensors
Completed Ultraviolet Radiation Detection System

Ultraviolet Radiation Detection System

A handheld UV index meter reading out to an LCD in a sealed enclosure — built for people who work long hours in open sun.

InstrumentationHealth
Completed Gas Leak & Temperature Monitor

Gas Leak & Temperature Monitor

Continuous temperature and combustible-gas monitoring with a keypad front end, raising a local alarm the moment a threshold is crossed.

SafetyIoTAlarms
Completed Pulse & Heart Rate Monitor

Pulse & Heart Rate Monitor

Optical pulse and SpO2 measurement with Telegram integration, so a reading can reach a relative or clinician without extra hardware.

MedicalConnectivity
Completed Obstacle Avoidance Robot

Obstacle Avoidance Robot

Autonomous navigation around unmapped obstacles using ultrasonic sweeps and a reactive control strategy.

RoboticsAutonomy
On the bench

Pending

Still in the workshop — designed and under active development, but not yet finished. If you want to join a project team, these are the ones taking members.

Pending Joint-Agent Board & IoT Kit

Joint-Agent Board & IoT Kit

The hardware side of Joint-Agent — Nigeria's first IoT-blockchain board and development kit, signing sensor readings on the board itself. In build.

IoTBlockchainHardware
Pending Robotic Arm — 6 Degrees of Freedom

Robotic Arm — 6 Degrees of Freedom

A six-axis arm with inverse kinematics and a teach-pendant workflow, intended as the teaching rig for our robotics tier.

RoboticsKinematics
Pending Autonomous Self-Driving Vehicle

Autonomous Self-Driving Vehicle

A self-driving platform with an advanced computer-vision pipeline for lane keeping, obstacle classification and route planning.

Computer VisionAutonomyEdge AI
Pending Smart Electrocardiogram System

Smart Electrocardiogram System

A low-cost ECG front end with digital filtering, aimed at clinics that cannot justify imported equipment.
