Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department, UCLA Winter 2018-Spring 2018 Senior Design Project – Autonomous Robot
• Researched and designed parts for the base of the robot (wheels, motors, and chassis) using Solidworks
• Designed a mechanism that is able to pick up a tennis ball, load it into a “canon”, and launch
• Purchased the parts from vendors and assembled based on the design
• Used Labview to program the robot to perform the set tasks Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department, UCLA Winter 2017 3D Printing Project – Steel Ball Launcher
• Designed a mechanism that is capable of launching a small steel ball as far as possible using two springs
• Ensured the parts can be 3D printed by taking in consideration the printing time and size of the parts
• Tested and troubleshooted the mechanism to make sure it is fully functional
