PROJECTS: Senior Project- Created robotic hand using Bluetooth and Arduino to move on its own. Project was successful.
Used Solidworks to model the parts of the exterior and 3D printed the parts
Bluetooth control used to make the hand move through a Bluetooth switch method.
Linear actuators were used to move the hand with stings and rubber bands as tendons in the fingers.
Controls Design Project- Created robotic arm, determined weight of object and moved to correct location
Weight sensor was used to determine weight at the end of the arm
Stepper motor and counter were used to determine distance and move the objects
Photo sensor determined if an object was placed on the arm
