Projects
My first robot in 2015 was a biped robot called Ruby. Biped robots are typically made up of rigid bodies connected by simple kinematic connections. Human body segments are not rigid, and this difference between humans and robots causes many discrepancies in their dynamic balance. Due to the impact of the robot feet with the ground, the lack of compliance systems in biped robots may transfer high loads to the entire structure. The correct distribution of ground reaction forces from the ground to the robot structure is critical to avoiding actuator damage during robot gait.
Designed and implemented a robotic arm that imitates the human arm. Integrated the arm design with an EEG to control the motion with brainwaves and eye blink
Used the data from the kepeler telescope to train a convolutional neural network which uses the transit method to detect the presence of exoplanets in space.
Inspired by the theremin (only instrument that needs no touch to play), I designed and implemented an electronic musical instrument using light sensors. The change of flux (light intensity) due to casted shadows of hand gestures were linked to musical tones to produce melodies.
Designed and implemented a gesture-controlled robot with accelerometer fitted on the hand glove to control its motion. Used sensors to detect obstacles, read temperature value, and Bluetooth control
In spacecraft design, the function of the thermal control system (TCS) is to keep all the spacecraft's component systems within acceptable temperature ranges during all mission phases. It must cope with the external environment, which can vary in a wide range as the spacecraft is exposed to deep space or to solar or planetary flux, and with ejecting to space the internal heat generated by the operation of the spacecraft itself.
My current project deals with the design and analysis of efficient TCS.
