Dialogue: Engineering Computation and Design to Harness Clean Energy in Norway

May - June 2022

  • Recently accepted to the program, first time it is being held.
  • Being covered by my scholarship.
  • Previous
    Work

    CRAB Lab

    Published Author

  • Data collection, design, and development of Robotic Earthworm for peer reviewed paper.
  • Developed testing environments for robot to examine body bending as an anchor mechanism to locomote.
  • Integrated flexible PCB and strain sensor which determined values based on change in the shape of the flexible sensor.
  • Redesigned Smarticle, to integrate a charging port and increase structural integrity.
  • Integrated Buzzer and LED to improve swarm capabilities, allowing smarticle-to-smarticle communication.

    Mechanical Engineering Co-op Robotic Pick Team

  • 6 month Co-op 2021
  • Design and production build of a novel tool to calibrate and upgrade sensors across all robotic pick cell operations.
  • Gathered requirements, made all drawings, held design reviews, & worked with suppliers for custom solutions.
  • Design and production build of a novel tool & enclosure.
  • Designed testing frame for robotic and perception hardware operating above manufacture limits.
  • Tested for “Infant Mortality” in hot and humid environments per MIL Standard.
  • Science Fairs

    Prosthetic Arm and Exoskeleton

  • 3D Printed Myoelectric Prosthetic Arm which removed the need for Targeted Muscle Reinnervation Surgery.
  • MK2 used wireless Myo Armband which contained 8 EMG “pods” and an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU).
  • Made Four Artificial McKibben Air Muscles per arm for actuation.
  • Pneumatic Air Muscles allowed for simple design, and analogous behaviour with skeletal muscles.
  • 3D Printing

    Experience and Project Based Learning

  • 7 years of Additive Manufacturing experience.
  • Current Machines: Original Prusa i3MK3s & Original Prusa Mini+
  • Previously Owned/Operated Machines: Markforged, Form 2, Lulzbot, Craftbot, Ultimaker, & Wanhao to name a few!
