  Activities and Societies: Combat Robotics (2018-2020): Headed the analysis and construction of a 3-lb prototype capable of delivering approximately 20kN of force, with limiting factors being competition safety rules. Used data taken to begin a rapid prototyping phase for a 30-lb upscaled version with adjustments in previous design to improve performance. Lead the circuits team to design, plan, and build the circuitry necessary for operation, as well as programming controls. • Robotic Dog Design and Analysis (2019): Lead a 2-student team to design, analyze, and simulate a robotic dog system using Denavit-Hartenberg parameters and forward kinematics. The model was designed based off of the skeletal structure of a German Shepard, with the DH parameters being originally derived from the skeleton as well. SolidWorks was used to create a basic model to simulate and study movement of the system, while MATLAB was used to generate Jacobians from the DH tables to… Show more • Robotic Dog Design and Analysis (2019): Lead a 2-student team to design, analyze, and simulate a robotic dog system using Denavit-Hartenberg parameters and forward kinematics. The model was designed based off of the skeletal structure of a German Shepard, with the DH parameters being originally derived from the skeleton as well. SolidWorks was used to create a basic model to simulate and study movement of the system, while MATLAB was used to generate Jacobians from the DH tables to mathematically demonstrate the movement of the model. Methodology for construction and operation was also noted, using a combination of a variety of sensors to allow the robot to navigate its environment. Show less
