On this page, you will find links to the support documentation and writeups for multiple personal projects, along with my senior project. The current projects posted here are:
The National Fluid Power Association (NFPA) is a collection of fluid power companies across the United States. The NFPA sponsors an annual Fluid Powered Vehicle Challenge, in which colleges across the country compete to design and race a vehicle that receives human power input to a hydraulic propulsion circuit. A typical hydraulic propusion circuit includes a pump, motor, reservoir, and accumulator. The final vehicle is shown in the photo below. Detailed information about the mechatronics system on the vehicle is located here. This was a team project; my responsibilities included frame and reservoir design and manufacturing, and the mechatronics system.
The Tricorder is one of the most developed technological concepts produced by the Star Trek franchise. The handheld electronic device is capable of taking environmental readings and can serve as a general communications and data telemetry device. The goal of this personal project is to build a functioning handheld environmental scanner inspired by the device shown on television. The most recent protoype-in-progress is shown in the photo below. Detailed information about this project is located here. This is a work-in-progress; as I continue to update this site with more information, I will be revising this documentation to express my design process as a more formalized report.
The goal of this personal project is to develop a functioning polar pen plotter without requiring the use of traditional GCode. Instead, new software tools are being developed in Matlab to export custom C++ code to run on a microcontroller that prints an image. I wanted to develop and control a two-axis plotter from scratch to learn more about image recognition and control systems. This is a work-in-progress; detailed information about this project will be added soon!
