Autonomous vehicles that work and monitor the Maine woods present completely different financial and practical constraints than those found in a large scale defense agency project in the desert. April in Maine provides some of the most uncertain and changeable terrain that a vehicle would encounter. This competition focusses on systems designed for back country monitoring and inspection of forests, agriculture operations and border integrity which must meet theunique financial and operational constraints encountered during a New England mud season. | ||||||||||||

The development of the
University of Maine Mechanical
Engineering Capstone is the results of more than two decades of
efforts.
Starting with the efforts of a team of faculty at Colorado
State University,
a model for student quality and accountability was developed.
Based on
this foundation the efforts began at the University of Maine in 2000.
The
principles underlying this vision are at: UMaine
Capstone
Mission Statement. Like any project with a
sustainable competitive
advantage the UMaine capstone emphasizes world class efforts with a
clear sense
of place. |
