Description:	We are in the early stage of designing a robot rat, an advanced micromouse, of the same size as a typical rodent. This project will add the following functionality, dock and recharge, obstacle avoidance, behaviours such as avoidance or tracking of movement and light/dark, cliff avoidance, and navigation.

Prerequisite(s):	Operating systems, working knowledge of C
Description:	OpenBSD has drivers for SATA controllers which have hardware support for hotplugging devices and SATA port multipliers, however, the kernel is yet to support these capabilities. The OpenBSD drivers were recently imported into DragonflyBSD, who then did further development work to add these features. The aim of this project is to port support for hotplug and port multipliers back into OpenBSD.

Description:	OpenBSD currently lacks an iSCSI initiator, thereby preventing it from making using of the iSCSI storage on the market. This project would build on an existing proof of concept implementation to provide a working iSCSI initiator in OpenBSD. The success of the implementation will be measured by testing it against the NetBSD and Solaris iSCSI target stacks.

Description:	The aim of this project is to work with the Aus-e-Lit team to help develop a system for enabling annotations on scanned images of manuscripts to be automatically mapped to the textual version and vice versa. A system will be developed to enable authoring and display of annotations across representations of significant historical manuscripts and letters in the AustLit collection.

Prerequisite(s):	COMP2304 or experience in C/C++
Description:	QuProlog is a variant of the Prolog programming language. It is currently being ported to Windows. To better support Windows users it would be good to provide an IDE in which users could edit Prolog programs and load them into the Prolog interpreter. The majority of the project will involve developing such an IDE. The project will also develop the required installation scripts for the QuProlog system, including the IDE. No knowledge of Prolog is required.
