● Course work and topics on Solidworks, MATLAB, Machine Design and Prototyping. Projects
Automatic Whisker Pulling Machine with Speed Control and UI Apr 2018 — Dec 2018 Mechanical Design, Motor Control and System Modelling As a member of a group of graduate students working on a project that “seal whiskers” will be automatically drawn from a plastic filament through a heated pipe in an oven.
● Independently worked on the design, manufacturing and prototyping of the machine.
● Analyzed and modeled the pulling gripper’s motion with varying-speed profiles. Robotic Smart Rotary Actuator with Absolute Position Control Jan 2018 — Jun 2018 Mechanical Design and Manufacturing
As a team of seven, designed and built a rotary actuator with absolute position control.
● Completed CAD, machining and assembly of all mechanical and electrical components.
● Performed stress and heat analysis and tested the electrical communication. Two-wheeled Self-balancing Robot using Arduino Uno Jan 2018 — Apr 2018 Feedback Control System & Microcontroller Programming Built a two-wheeled self-balancing robot with Arduino Uno, 6-axis IMU and Hall effect encoder.
● Developed the a Linear-Quadratic Regulation (LQR) controller using Wolfram Mathematica.
● Programmed the Arduino Uno microcontroller with sensors and LQR controller. Bottle Grabbing Actuation with Rethink Robotics' Sawyer Robot Arm Nov 2017 — Dec 2017 Robotic Manipulation using Robot Operating System (ROS) Collaborated with a group of five to control a 7-DOF industrial robot arm, to grab a coke bottle on the nearby table using the built-in wrist camera and AR tag.
● Constructed a way-point path in ROS Gazebo for precise approach to the bottle.
● Programmed functions for robot gripper manipulation to complete the task after robot moving to target position.
