Mechatronics Engineering Final Year Topic: Design and Evaluation of Sensor Fusion Position Drift

This Mechatronics Engineering final year project examines combining fictional wheel and inertial observations without hiding uncertainty, linking mechanical behaviour, sensing and control through a bounded prototype or reproducible simulation.

Why choose this project topic?

The project addresses combining fictional wheel and inertial observations without hiding uncertainty, making the interaction between mechanism, sensor and controller visible. Comparing position error, uncertainty coverage and drift recovery gives a student a useful basis for design decisions, demonstrations and a critical discussion of where the integrated system can fail.

How do the selected sensing, actuation or control choices affect position error, uncertainty coverage and drift recovery when combining fictional wheel and inertial observations without hiding uncertainty?

Select an available approved trainer or fictional model, then agree the mechanism, control range and evaluation protocol for combining fictional wheel and inertial observations without hiding uncertainty.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Specify the mechanism, interfaces and operating limits required for combining fictional wheel and inertial observations without hiding uncertainty.
  2. 02Generate known motion trajectories, compare fusion settings and test biased wheel readings and delayed inertial samples.
  3. 03Evaluate position error, uncertainty coverage and drift recovery and document failure cases and uncertainty.

A suggested research approach

Generate known motion trajectories, compare fusion settings and test biased wheel readings and delayed inertial samples. Obtain approval for any physical rig and keep testing supervised and within low-energy limits. Record the mechanical and software configuration, compare position error, uncertainty coverage and drift recovery against a stated reference, and distinguish demonstration success from validated field reliability.

What you will need

  • Synthetic motion traces
  • Sensor error models
  • Fusion analysis software

Keep your project scope clear

Estimated position is not validated for autonomous operation near people.
