Texture Classification
with Biomimetic Whisker Sensor

Inspired by the natural whisker, a biomimetic mechatronic system with an artificial whisker sensor is developed to simulate rats’ whisking motion and to distinguish different textures.

Keywords: Biomimetic, Robotics, Texture Discrimination

Automated Guided Car

Designed and controlled an automated guided car to navigate along desired trajectory.

Keywords: Mechatronics, Image Processing, Motion Control

Motion Planning & Simulation
for Mobile Robot

In this project, I learned about the kinetic properties of KUKA youBot, a 5-DOF serial manipulation arm with omnidirectional mobile platform. Based on its workspace and the desired motion of the end effector, I applied PI velocity control, generated reference trajectory and conducted simulation on V-REP, an virtual experimentation platform for robots.

Keywords: Motion Planning, Simulation, Trajectory Generation

DC Motor Control

Built an intelligent motor driver which can accept a desired motor trajectory, execute that trajectory, and send the results back for error analysis. Including position control and velocity control.

Keywords: Mechatronics, Motor Control, PID Control

MassaBot

Designed a prototype of head massage robot, which can help people relax their muscles after day-long work.

Keywords: Robotics, Human-centered Design, Optimization

Wearable Camera

Designed the case for wearable cameras specifically for health monitoring.

Keywords: Wearable Device, Human-centered Design, Healthcare

Redesign of Desktop 3D printer

Designed a novel self-replicable desktop 3D printer. It is a Replicating Rapid-prototyper (RepRap) project.

Keywords: Design, 3D Printing, Parallel Manipulator
