Automation — Mechatronics — Innovation
Parallel Robotics — Proportional-derivative controller for Stewart platforms to move smoothly between waypoints
Automated Aerial Interception — Tuning quadrotor dynamics to intercept a simulated opposing aircraft while remaining stable amidst environmental disturbances
Extraterrestrial Optimization— Spring-loaded clamp for regolith sample analysis cup that utilizes the movement of an elevator to open instead of a single-use actuator and an anti-crush mechanism to protect a piezoelectric transducer vital for vibrational mass measurement of sample
Simulated Biomimicry — Animation of a quadruped walking gate simulated with MATLAB. This gate is used by various organisms and robots due to its stability and efficient utilization of energy
Ecological Conservation Automation — A robot to incessantly sift through dunes and beaches to find trash while using computer vision and machine learning to recognize and differentiate trash from naturally occurring debris
Image-Based Motion Planning — Based on images captured by a mounted camera, this robotic arm can use inverse kinematics to pick up and sort balls by their color
Automation Makes Going Solar Easy — A robot to pick up heavy solar panels and install them on a roof
Shelter Anywhere — A retractable bamboo yurt that can be easily collapsed and moved anywhere for disaster relief efforts
