DIY Introduction

Undergraduates will tentatively participate in the following five DIY groups, complete the corresponding tasks and prepare for the final showcase/presentation.
Outstanding students will be awarded at the end of this journey.

VR/AR

This topic will guide students to build an AR application development environment locally to achieve AR application development based on the currently popular virtual reality development tools and platforms. Experience the dream experience brought by augmented reality for yourself.

The topic will be divided into two projects, which are real-time virtual and real fusion based on AR Toolkit and OpenGL programming and easyar-based mobile phone augmented reality animation on the Unity platform. Students can realize the effect of augmented reality by programming in the local environment, experience the charm of future technology.

Visual Analytics

This topic can expose students to the most cutting-edge visual analysis problems and discussthe beauty of data. Students can be exposed to the presentation and analysis of three-dimensional data, such as the visual analysis of three-dimensional medical data, or the visual analysis of information, such as visualization of epidemic situation, social network information visualization and so on, exert their imagination and feel the beauty of data with zero distance.

This year, the topic of visual analysis will focus on spatiotemporal situation analysis of epidemic situation, visualization of epidemic propagation mode and visualization of public opinion. By collecting data related to the epidemic, students use relevant data processing and visualization methods to visualize the content related to the epidemic and more intuitively feel the changes brought about by the epidemic.

3D Printing

This topic is based on the mainstream technology of desktop 3D printers, Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), and provides you with two DIY topics that are both knowledgeable and interesting, as well as standard FDM printers and clay printers. Although the summer school students of this year cannot visit the site in person, they can remotely observe the whole process of printing through the camera, and can produce the results through the above printer, and experience the novelty and fun of designing their own products through 3D printing.

The 3D printing project will be divided into two small projects, which are the path design based on G-code clay printing and the generation of porous models based on TPMS. Through these two projects, students can understand the basic process of 3D printing and exercise programming ability and geometric recognition ability, enjoy the challenges and fun from the design to the manufacturing process.

Computer Vision

This topic will introduce the basic research problems of object detection, recognition and three-dimensional positioning involved in the automatic driving unmanned vehicle to the students, and provide GPU server for the students to train the deep neural network for automatic driving application by themselves, and experience the exciting progress of artificial intelligence in recent years.

Through this topic, students will use the TensorFlow framework to run PointCNN, a point cloud feature learning architecture, which can be further developed on the provided PointCNN basic version for point cloud semantic segmentation to complete PointCNN-KITTI. The topic also provides improvement projects. Students can combine TensorFlow documents to complete further exploration and feel the advantages and characteristics of deep learning in the field of computer vision.

Robot

This topic will guide students to use different forms of robot development tools to realize the entry-level development of intelligent robots. Students can get in touch with the real Turtlebot2 mobile robot and Dobot Master 1st generation manipulator, and experience the charm of different types of intelligent robots.

The robot topic will be divided into two projects, namely: project development based on the ROS system and turtlebot2 robots, where students will complete the control of turtlebot and use turtlebot to complete tasks such as map creation and autonomous navigation; the object sorting work of the robotic arm based on DobotM1, where students can learn about the development of the robotic arm and the related knowledge of visual servoing, and control the robotic arm to complete the task of sorting different colored blocks.
