• Investigated and performed analysis for the development of an electromechanical immersion and interactive(haptic) telerobotic device Through SolidWorks simulations and dynamic analysis, determined where force sensors should be placed on the human-interactive component of the device, called a 'cobot'
•
Jun '23 Aug '23
Merritt Island, FL
Created a configurable dashboard for data streaming to stream live data for users in a customizable fashion using the Plotly Dash library within a 10 week timespan
•
Designed a haptic feedback glove (immersive simulation device) to be used for VR security training, taking into account movement restriction, touch simulation, and ergonomic support with the first iteration being a 3D-printed proof-of-concept
•
May '22 May '22
Atlanta, GA
Conducted research on interactions of magnetic fields and high-temperature superconductors in a phenomenon called flux pinning, showing how they could be integrated in robotics by making an electromagnetic track controlled using an Arduino MEGA
•
Demonstrated that current switching between electromagnets can dictate movement of superconductor, but found that heat transfer from the magnets cut the flux pinning time short
•
