Automatic Sandbag Feeding System

Developed a bag feeding subsystem for an automatic sandbag filling machine by Brigade Automation (BaggerBot). Exceeded project sponsor expectations by achieving 220% increase in speed and 95% reliability.

3D Printer Filament Recycler

Designed and fabricated a prototype filament recycler - accepts shredded 3D prints (PLA, PETG, ABS) and extrudes recycled filament for printing use. Achieved consistent temperature control of +/- 0.5°C under required budget of $400.

Remote Controlled Tower Crane Model

Designed, 3D printed, and assembled a model crane capable of 3 degrees of freedom. Controlled via remote control for user interaction and uses various sensors to display feedback (load weight and boom angle).

Self-Balancing Mini Segway (MinSeg) Robot

Utilized MinSeg to create a self-balancing robot by deriving appropriate electromechanical equations and modeling them within MATLAB and Simulink. Successfully tuned control system parameters to develop balancing abilities and minimize drift.

Hall Effect Bicycle Speedometer

Designed and fabricated a universal bicycle speedometer with the use of rapid prototyping, National Instruments (NI) myDAQ, LabVIEW, and a hall effect sensor. Successfully demonstrated the measurement of RPM, velocity, and total distance traveled using LabVIEW's front panel.
