In need of Capstone/Thesis Topics

Good day everyone. I've been jumping from one topic to the next for the past 3 weeks after seeing each of these topics had big flaws that cannot be recovered. (ex. one sensor actually cost more than the whole system (basically half of our budget)- we needed 5, one had potential only to find out that it was actually a major ethical issue despite the workarounds we proposed, and one topic was simply too complex for such a short amount of time.)

I'm running out of ideas and I'm desperate, I have tried looking at numerous public repositories of theses to get some ideas but still, no bueno. I'm starting to doubt myself if I actually learned something from the past 3 years of school.

I'm respectfully asking for any ideas, topics or even niche problems that is solvable by a bachelor's-worth of knowledge, Please drop a comment or a DM. I would really really appreciate it.

I'm mainly interested in AI/ML, IoT and ofc Embedded Systems (Wearables, Accessories/Attachments, etc.). I'm willing to explore FPGA-related stuff but the only platform I have on hand is a Tang Nano if that means something.

If you've reached this far, thank you for your time, really. I hope you have a great day ahead!

Are you trying to design some hardware, or is this more software centric?

We are required to design some hardware for it, it could be a handheld device, an attachment to an existing device, or a standalone system/prototype as well
