Academic experience

I am Daniel Layeghi I graduated from Queen Mary University of London with a degree in Mechanical Engineering (MEng) in June of 2017. I find robotics to be a fascinating field that combines theory and practice. During my 4 years at university I have been involved with many projects specific to robotics. For my third year dissertation I designed and developed a 1 DOF upper limb rehabilitation exoskeleton driven by the user's EMG activity. Through my 4th year I worked on a group project to design and develop a handheld robotic haircutting device where I was responsible for the software aspects of the project. I have also worked projects specific to control and modelling such as minimum snap trajectory generation and control of a quadrotor, dynamic modelling of the 7 DOF Sawyer robot arm... . The detail to these and other projects are available in the Projects page.

Work experience

During my last work experience in 2017 I worked at the Advanced Robotics lab at Queen Mary (ARQ). As part of a group we designed a haptic foot platform driven by virtual reality. My role involved CAD modelling specific components and designing a power transmission system.

A short summary of my other projects, work experience and skills are available in my CV.
