Winners of the 2019 Autumn Prototype Exhibtion
Another semester, another successful UTS FEIT Prototype Exhibition!
This exhibition saw 30 prototypes made by over 80 students from 9 different IT and engineering subjects be put on display for 4 hours on 2nd July 2019. Hundreds of guests came to UTS Building 11 to view and vote for their favorite projects, including industry and research partners, students from around the university, and families.
The participating groups were competing for the best prototype accross five categories, each with its own trophy and prize. Four of these were determined by the people, with voting open throughout the evenning, while the last was determined by a panel of academic judges.
And the winners are:

“Chicken Run” Pomolamp was designed to utilise the pomodoro technique to assist students, mainly University students in improving their study habits by providing an environment that facilities maximum efficiency and productivity through the use of lighting. It has 3 "modes" or colours that indicate a particular task the student must perform. Blue light means they must decide on a task to study, white light is the study period and an orange light indicates that it is time for a break. This is repeated 3 times, followed by an extended break. After the lamp has completed its run it will switch off automatically.

“Astra Frame - Digital Scrapbook” by Team Astra Astra frame is a device that helps elders to relive memories of their loved ones by encouraging them to create scrapbooks for family and friends and thereby sharing among them. As such, this ICT enabled device supports active ageing by creating an effective medium to connect elders with their closed ones in an easy and efficient way. Elders can create digital scrapbook by scanning old printed photos using pen scanner, designing collages, adding hand-written comments, recording voice messages, adding various other elements and printing scrapbooks using inbuilt printer. Thus, these shared and cherished moments can facilitate strong connections among elders and their closed ones.

“Design & Implementation of Coil Winder Device” by M&M Designs UTS:CAS uses Pulsed Eddy Current (PEC) sensors for corrosion detection in water pipes as part of a partnership with Sydney Water. These sensors require elliptically shaped coils to be wound from copper wire, which is done in-house. The existing prototype producing these coils requires too much user involvement and setup time. The prototype needed to be revised to reduce worker dependency and provide an improvement to the efficiency of coil manufacture for the engineers at UTS:CAS. |
