Education projects in North America
Arizona State University: Tempe, AZ
ENIPS Project (Embedded Network Intrusion & Detection System) started at CABIT Research Lab at Arizona State University in June 05. The project is to build an intrusion detection and prevention system in one tiny box, size of a cellphone, that is itself secure(transparent), robust and easy to manage.

Stanford University: Palo Alto, CA
Deanna Stewart is part of a student group ("Firehose") in the college of the Management of Science and Engineering. Deanna & Patrick & Brent & Brian & Anton (aka Firehose) have completed their study on creativity in the workplace, including studying the gumstix management team.
University of British Columbia: Vancouver, Canada
APSC 486 APSC 486 - New Venture Design is a one-year long joint course taught between Electrical Engineering and the Sauder School of Business in which students conceive and develop a realistic commercial product. Three APSC 486 students are using the Gumstix to implement a Bt-enabled cellphone peripheral.
For more on the gumstix at UBC, contact Prof. Dave Michelson
Clemson University: Clemson, SC
Gumstix are being used to gather data from wireless sensor networks out in the field and send it to our lab via Meteor Burst modem.
Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY
We are using gumstix for a portable equipment for measurement of fluorescence. The gumstix controls light intensity, temperature and sequences the fluid handling steppers+pumps. It also does analysis of the data and displays the results on a small LCD display.
Utah State University: Logan, UT
Using the Gumsitx to develop an advanced Laser Tag system that uses both GPS and wireless communication to enhance gameplay.
Florida International University: Miami, Florida
Florida International University's IEEE Student Branch Robotics Team is using Gumstix and Robostix to create an object recognizing rover for the 2008 IEEE Hardware Competition. Inquiries can be made to Chris Rodriguez <Crodr021@fiu.edu>
Education projects in the UK and Europe
Reading University: Reading, UK
Dan Taylor's PhD focusses on detecting faults in supermarket fridges using artificial immune systems and evolutionary neural networks of various types project. He has various projects starting up involving the gumstix motherboard. More to come from Dan.
Technical University of Cluj Napoca: Cluj Napoca, Romania
Radu Bogdan Rusu is in the Faculty of Automation & Computer Science as a PhD student.
Update: Radu moved to the Technische Universitaet Muenchen, Intelligent Autonomous Systems research group (Computer Science department IX).
University of Southampton: UK
Electronics and Computer Science are testing Gumstix for various sensor networks, pervasive and robotocs projects. This includes a gumsense board for I/O to sensors.
University of Deusto, Spain
Juan Ignacio Vazquez is doing research about embedding Semantic Web technologies into Ubiquitous Computing platforms in order to create more intelligent, perceptive and reactive devices. The prototypes are called smobjects (smart objects): intelligent agents that exchange semantically annotated information in order to create a shared knowledge space about the environment. Smobjects can spontaneously discover each other and be configured with high-level behaviors using appropriate vocabularies and ontologies.
One of the prototypes is a talking plant integrated in the environment, aware of existing conditions (e.g. dangerous or flammable materials) alerting the user about any existing hazard. Other prototype is a weather-aware umbrella that discovers surrounding sources of weather data (such as a rain sensor or an Internet connection to download a weather forecast), blinking if the user intends to leave home without it (if needed).
Aberystwyth University: Aberystwyth, Wales, UK
Using gumstix in research projects relating to sailing robots, several final year undergraduate projects and undergraduate teaching as part of a module on mobile, wearable and embedded systems.
