Virginia Tech Fall 2019 - Present
Housed at that Field and Space Experimental Robotics (FASER) Lab at Virginia Tech is a fleet of robots constructed in-house of varying capability. As a Graduate Research Assistant in the lab I use these robots in my research and am part of the team that designs, repairs, and operates these robots.
Lightweight Surface Manipulation System (LSMS)
Lightweight Surface Manipulation System (LSMS)
Modeled after the original LSMS housed at NASA Langley, our LSMS is a near identical copy. Using its winch-driven cables, it is able of lifting heavy weight and moving it large distances.
Stewart Platforms
Stewart Platforms
These stewart platform robots feature Actuonix linear actuators spanning aluminum plates controlled by either arduino or teensy drivers. They serve as the stable, fine positioners of the lab. Additionally, they can be stacked to increase the range of motion.
Mobile Assembly Robotic Collaborators (MARC)
Mobile Assembly Robotic Collaborators (MARC)
The MARCs are twin driving robots. They consist of a 6 DOF Gearwurx arm mounted onto a mecanum wheeled superdroid base. It features an interchangeable end effector between a gripper and an electro-permanent magnet.
Fabrication Machines
Fabrication Machines
In addition to the robots themselves, the lab also employs state-of-the-art fabrication equiptment that I am responsible for mainintaing and repairing. These include the following machines.
Full Spectrum 24x36 Laser Cutter
Raise3D Pro 2 and Ender 3 3D Printers
Bantam Desktop CNC Mill
Wazer Desktop Waterjet
