1.2. OBJECTIVES AND DELIVERABLES
along various paths on the island to better track their comings and goings
on the island.
1.2 Objectives and Deliverables
The objectives of this project are to design, construct and evaluate a replacement
system capable of detecting the movements of penguins on Robben Island.
The following goals are e xpe cted to be achieved:
• Critically review the existing solution and identify all of its shortcomings.
• Suggest a device specification which solves these problems.
• Design a low-cost replacement system which solves the identified problems
and meets the proposed specification.
• Construct a prototype device according to the proposed design.
• Evaluate the prototype for possible installation.
• Suggest improvements and future work.
A working prototype w ill be constructed for delivery with this report.
1.3 Project Timeframe
The final year project commenced on the 23rd of July 2006 and ran until
the 23rd of October 2006. Students are expected to complete all required
research, perform the required work (in this case construct a working prototype)
during this period, and deliver this, a report detailing the project, by the 23rd
of October.
