Projects

Things I've built outside of research.

Investigated multifunctional robotic manipulation strategies over the summer, extending work on dexterous manipulation with the SLURM Lab at USC.

Built a physical and simulated mobile robot with a 2D LiDAR SLAM algorithm that maps environments and localizes the robot within them with high accuracy.

Designed a new robot frame in SolidWorks and performed FEA to optimize drag and mass characteristics for Northwestern Robotics Club's ROV competition entry.

An assistive scale with a detached weight display and LED ring, designed with an engineering team for users with limited mobility at the Shirley Ryan Ability Lab.

Programmed an interactive museum exhibit using heart rate sensors, LED arrays, and motor-pulley systems that races horses on screen to a visitor's heartbeat.

Built a museum exhibit that visualizes standing wave patterns on a vibrating metal plate using sand, demonstrating acoustic resonance to young students.

Inspired by the template here.
