What to do for a basic mechatronics/automation project

Projects General Guidance
1

Hello, I have a project for my mechatronics course its kind of a basic course with just an intro to systems with automation. I am kind of new to arduino and I was wondering what are some classical projects that can be easily implemented with not much in depth design.

I have a few parts and I would love to know the scope of the projects possible with these parts.
list:

-Arduino Mega
-2 x Stepper motors
-2 x DC motors
-2 x Servo

  • 4x4 Keypad
    -LCD display
    -Ultrasound range sensor
    -PIR motion sensor
    -Robot gripper (2" grip)
    -RFID reader
    -RFID 3 cm circular tags with adhesive
    -TMP 36 temperature sensor
    -Gas sensor
    -Gyro
    -Capacitive Touch Sensor

I apologize if this is very vague, I just want to have a starting point to think from in order to know what type of project I can do with what I have.

PS I don't have to use them all, but this is what I have at the moment.

Any ideas are welcome.

Thank you.

You can make a driving robot with the steppers /DC motors. You can also have it follow you, with the Ultrasonic range sensor and you can have it grab objects with the gripper.

You can make quite a few things with a keypad and LCD, password locks, calculators, control panels, even games.
The motion sensor can come in handy for a lot of things too, just do a search for PIR projects and you are bound to find tons.
RFID tags can also be used for password locks.

The rest, you can combine with other projects. Start with one thing then add; see where you imagination takes you.
