Projects

The Power Jack - 2023 Capstone

Designed and fabricated an automated car-jacking system
Included safety features such as tipping detection through the use of an inclinometer
Handled mechanical design and Project Management portions to ensure the project is completed in a timely manner
- Includes purchasing, scheduling and acquisition of components
Worked in a team of 4 to assess needs and create this project from scratch

First version using a catapult like system and a worm drive.

Ping-Pong Practice Robot - April 2021

Designed and prototyped an Arduino controlled ping-pong practice robot to consistently shoot ping pong balls at various angles
Designed 15+ components in SolidWorks and 3D printed in PLA
Programmed in Arduino code and utilized 3 motors to regulate ball speed and launch bearing angle

"Jugs" Style Launch

Catapult design demanded too much torque from low voltage DC motors and friction of 3D printed parts was too high on gear systems
Two high speed rotating motors were used to rotate flywheels to provide a tangential velocity to the ping pong ball, similar to a Jugs pitching machine

Two high speed rotating flywheels with a rail to redirect the ping pong ball

Next Steps

IMG_4363.mov

We are currently working on the system integration of an Arduino micro-controller with several sensing breakout boards and a HC-05 Bluetooth module to allow the robot to be controlled by a custom built Android app
Concurrently, to enable yaw rotation control; development of a rotating platform powered by a servo motor is being worked on. Combining this with a laser ping sensor which can determine the distance of an object in front of the robot, we can get the robot to detect and adjust its launch parameters to accurately hit the cup with the ball

Foldable Phone Stand - December 2020

Designed and 3D printed a flattening phone stand that holds a phone at 4 different angles
Printed in PLA, comprised of 3 main components all printed together with embedded hinges

"Apple Tree" Device Charging Station - Sept. 2020

Designed a charging dock for an iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods in Solidworks
Measured each component to within 0.005" to ensure proper fit and placement of components
3D Printed using custom Cura Ultimaker software to optimize use of material and strength
Designed to ensure proper cable management between all chargers
Compatible with multiple models of iPhones and Apple Watches.

Robotic Pill Dispenser (RobotC, 3D Prototyping) - Dec. 2019

Designed and prototyped a robotic pill dispenser to dispense coloured pills according to a user input
3D print/laser cut 30+ pieces that were designed in AutoCAD and SolidWorks
Handled Event-Driven programming through RobotC and a LEGO EV3 brick
Ensured accurate colour readings by taking an average of 50 readings in a span of 0.5 seconds
Project completed in 2 months with over an 85% success rate

Two-Way Pinball - UTRA Hackathon - Nov. 2018

Designed and prototyped a fully mechanical, fully functional two way pinball game, using power tools, hand tools and 3D printers
Finished in the top 3 for "Purely Mechanical Design"
Soldered motors to add a "mixing" effect for balls that get stuck in the middle
Achieved in under 12-hours at the University of Toronto Robotics Association Hackathon

Water Powered Clock - Feb. 2019

Created a uniformly flowing water output mechanism to keep track of the time (in seconds) using household items and a Tetrix robotics kit
Wired the water mill to complete an LED circuit to blink every 1/4 of a revolution (roughly 0.5 seconds)
Kept accurate time (+- 10 seconds) for up to 3 minutes
Created in groups of 4 with 8 hours to design, prototype and present the device
