Purdue AppCoordinate Logging Developer Tool

• Allows us to send crowd-sourced coordinates to remote server of Bike Racks, Emergency Call Boxes, etc.

• These coordinates can then be statically added to JSON file for viewing on campus map.

Special Interest Group in Robotics

Javid Habibi

Goals This Year:

• Release & support PROS within the Vex Robotics Community

• Continue development of new sensors• Host multiple Vex College Competitions• Compete in the 2014 Vex Robotics World Championships– April 24th – 26th

How have we done?

Purdue Robotics OS (PROS)• Completed Development this past summer

– Priority based scheduler– Native C familiar to CS students– Improved sensor resolution

• Released PROS August 22nd– 1,417 downloads as of April 7th– 30 different countries– Confirmed Universities include

• University Illinois Urbana Champaign & Utah State University• Continued Support

– Answered Feature Requests– Bug Fixes– 2b01 ‐> 2b09

New Sensor: Watchdog V2• Hall effect based current sensor

– Real‐time current feedback to drivers– Maximum efficiency of motor power 

consumption

• Benefits of Version 2– Smaller footprint– Reduced analog noise

New Sensor: R.A.D.I.U.S.• Reflectance & Analog Data Interpretation Unified Sensor 

(R.A.D.I.U.S.)– Utilizes 32 infrared reflectance sensors– Preprocesses all raw data on the sensor and feeds PID values to the primary microcontroller

– Allows robots to track lines at any angle at maximum speed

Host multiple Vex U Competitions

• Hosted three different university level competitions:– Purdue Vex U Fall Challenge 11/9/13

• Five teams in attendance• Tournament Champion

– Purdue Vex U Winter Challenge 2/1/14• Three teams in attendance• Tournament Champion

– Purdue Vex U Spring Scrimmage 3/29/2014• Sparred with University of Illinois Urbana‐Champaign• Tournament Champion

What We’ve Done

• C Programming Tutorials • Capture the Flag• Secure Programming Practices

C Programming Tutorials

• Introduce members to C• Understand what is actually going on inside programs– Memory– Instructions– Sys Calls

• Better able to secure programs with low level knowledge

Capture The Flag

• Introduce members to exploiting common software vulnerabilities– Permissions, Buffer Overflow, Input Validation, etc

• Proficiency in Linux required– Members gain a better understanding of Linux after completing challenges

Secure Programming Practices

• Teach members to think smarter about security during programming

• Understand how to program defensively• Know common security mistakes and guard against them

Plans For The Future

• Secure IRC/Messaging Client– Cryptography– Multiple platforms– Written in C

• Capture the Flag– Get more people involved– Harder challenges

• Assembly Tutorials– Reverse engineering
