Autonomous Recharging Agent

This was a graduate school project in the Robotic Agents Laboratory. I was responsible for building the recharging arm that recharges the other robots. I built a proof-of-concept that shows it is possible to recharge a robot in 25 minutes. I used an Arduino to prove the concept.

The video below demonstrates the function of the recharging agent:

Autonomous Kayak

I was a member of the Telemetric Robotics Group at Carnegie Mellon University for a semester. During this time, I revived a past project to work on a proof-of-concept. 

I wrote some scripts to control the kayak’s movement in a local network. While one kayak was operated using an RF remote, the other kayak reads the GPS coordinates of the RF controlled kayak and follows it. We took the kayaks to the local pond to prove the concept.

Connect Four Robot

This project was a part of my Mechatronic System Design class during graduate school at Carnegie Mellon University. The class project was to design a robot that competes against another robot in a Connect Four game.

I designed the electrical subsystem for the robot. I built the DC motor and stepper motor control circuitry. I also ported an open source Connect Four game algorithm to work on a microcontroller.
