An idea I am interested in that contains the intersection between hardware and software would be creating a robot that uses echolocation to find the walls that define its boundaries. For now, I am thinking of using an EV3 robot and sonar. However, this doesn\u2019t seem like it\u2019ll be enough for a final project, so I am considering using other hardware tools for the robot besides the EV3 robot. I\u2019m still narrowing that part down and need to do a little more research into hardware tools. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Platform for viewing data<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I am interested in data, an idea relating to this is be to create my own platform for ingesting and displaying data. Having experimented with D3 recently, I think that would be a tool I would like to use for a large portion of project. During the summer, I used a platform that stored data in a graph form and would display said data, I would like to make something similar to this but with a different data structure for the data. I will be doing research to consider what direction to go with this. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Python Module for Image Processing<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">My final and least developed idea is to make a python module for image processing.
