The Dancing Robot Dog

  • Ideated, designed and manufactured dancing robot dog over the course of 12-weeks

  • Created detailed CAD model on SOLIDWORKS and Fusion 360; fabricated body components using 3D printing and laser cutting

  • Configured remotely controllable system to communicate with on-board RaspberryPi using SSH over Wi-Fi

  • Programmed gait of robot using Keyframes method for 8 servo motors for robot to have 4 distinct dance moves. Presently teaching robot to walk on its own using PyBullet simulations and evolutionary algorithms

Single-Compartment and Multi-Compartment Test Lungs

SCTL and MCTL - Quadrus Medical Technologies

  • Custom test lungs designed to test non-standard patient scenarios

  • MCTL - Collaborated in a team of 3, includes automated setting of resistance and compliance

  • SCTL - single-compartment, can use standard medical balloons, allowing for a modular design and test of different  volume capacities with the same setup
