Our Senior Design Team would like to acknowledge many sponsors and advisors
we have had throughout the project. Although we are all graduating seniors with
concentrations in electrical engineering, we are very new to the design process.
There are so many factors and unknowns that advice goes along way when we
are faced with uncertainties.


         Professor Tewksbury has given his utmost support to our project. He has
steered the group toward a much broader application. This has opened many
doors for exploration. He has taken time to sit with us and discuss many options
in navigation. He has also taken into consideration expanding our budget and is
still negotiating purchasing a GPS base station that can be used for future
research.


        The Stevens Computer Support Center donated three laptops to our Senior
Design Project. These laptops are very critical to the project and help us stay
within the designated budget.
Professor Meng contributed advice on numerous occasions to the design and
construction of our platform. She also researched and suggested alternative
design implementations for our platform. She took time to show the team some
indoor robots currently used by the ECE department and made suggestions for
our design.


      We have also received free items and discounts from numerous other
manufactures. Hardware stores, consulting engineers at companies we have
contacted, and personal family and friends have contributed to the progress of
our project.
