1. ECE 4006 Project Proposal and Presentation Group Members – John Sellers - Doug Messick - Kelvin Bunn - Sean James Group Name: Altera NIOS Robot Group School of Electrical and Computer Engineering Georgia Institute of Technology

2. ECE 4006 Project Proposal and Presentation Project Description The design for this project will use the Altera NIOS board as a robot controller. The robot used in this project is the Amigobot, which contains 8 sonar sensors. The main function of the robot will be to track moving objects and object avoidance.
