January 2025 - December 2025
Gesture Controlled 6-DOF Robotic Arm
(University Senior Design Project)
Gesture Controlled 6-DOF Robotic Arm
(University Senior Design Project)
Designed a 6-DOF robotic arm including the 6-bar parallel gripper entirely from scratch. Solved kinematics and developed Jacobian-based inverse kinematics for end-effector task space control. Integrated Leap Motion Controller for hand-gesture control and real-time human-robot interaction.
September 2023 - August 2024
Design and Kinematic Analysis of A Linkage-Driven Robotic Finger
Design and Kinematic Analysis of A Linkage-Driven Robotic Finger
Designed a linkage-driven finger mechanism, analyzed kinematics, and derived position and velocity control of the fingertip, making the first controllable linkage-driven finger in the robotics literature.
August 2025 - December 2025
Line Following and Maze Solving Autonomous Vehicle (Mechatronics Class Final Project)
Line Following and Maze Solving Autonomous Vehicle (Mechatronics Class Final Project)
Designed and developed a differential-drive mobile robot with four IR sensors for line detection and turn recognition. Implemented odometry using motor encoders to enable accurate navigation and successful maze solving to reach a target. Please see the codes at:

June 2020 - August 2022
Six Degrees of Freedom Robotic Manipulator
Six Degrees of Freedom Robotic Manipulator
Designed and built a 6 Degrees of Freedom robotic manipulator from scratch, analyzed and derived close-form inverse kinematics solution for task space control, and then implemented Robot Operating System (ROS) for real-time control.
June 2019 - October 2019
FIRST Global Robotic Challenge (Dubai, UAE)
FIRST Global Robotic Challenge (Dubai, UAE)
Took part in FIRST Global Robotic Competition as a member of Myanmar representative team. Built a robot using the components such as aluminum extrusion, gears, sprockets, chains, motors, and brackets included in the provided REV robotic kit. Implemented odometry kinematics, image processing, and sensor fusion for robot localization so that robot position on the game field can be known, which is required for aiming the projectile trajectory during the game.
Achievement: First position in Judges Award
July 2019 - July 2021
Science Communication in Myanmar (Burma)
Science Communication in Myanmar (Burma)
As a president of Science and Technological Association (STA), science, mathematics, and engineering knowledge were spread to students and general public of Myanmar. Mini robotics competition and weekly tech talk were managed and science communication videos, animations, and simulations were created and posted on social media.
