Course Projects
Starting from here, you can see all the projects completed with my intrinsic passion and knowledge absorbed from my undergraduate career.
Senior Project: Darnell's Anywhere
JOYSTICK VEHICLE CONTROLLER DESIGN
Generated concepts, and validated them through tests and calculations. Sourced motors, controllers, and sensors, and designed a joystick controller for simple maneuverability with one hand.
CRS Robot Arm Project
OBSTACLE AND MAZE CROSSING
Applied task-space control, trajectory control, and impedance control to operate the robot arm getting in and out of peg hole, avoiding obstacles, zigzagging through the maze, and pushing 750N force on an egg without craking it
UR3 Robot Arm Pick and Place Challenge
AUTO SNOOKER BALL RESET
Applied Inverse Kinematics, Open CV, Feedforward and Feedback Control in designing an automatic arm to set up Snooker balls’ opening positions in CoppeliaSim.
Chhiller Plant Study
VAPOR REFRIGERATION EXPLANATION & AR VIDEO
Achieved a hands-on understanding of vapor refrigeration and created an interactive tour guide of campus chiller plant with AR features and audio explanations of key components
Design for Manufacture Analysis and Human-centered Design Project
DEEP ANALYSIS THE NEED AND COST
Analyzed the material, manufacturing method, and cost for each component of bicycle rear light.
Applied Product Design Specification (PDS) during the research of user needs and expressed Point of View Statement with a focus on helping people with hand issues pull off the ring of a can.
Created ideations through generation → analysis→ selection format, and selected the final ideation through Pugh Selection Matrix.
CAD the best ideation and analyzed the costs of 3D printings with different materials and different mass production quantities.
Lap Steel Guitar Project
PEDAL DRIVE PRESSING MECHANISM
Designed and constructed wood lap guitar with a single steel string.
​
Utilized 3D-printed parts for a pedaled pressing mechanism to achieve a fixed frequency increment.
Truss System Design and Testing
THIRD PLACE IN LOAD BEARING
Built 120 inches long and 36 inches high, 60 lbs wood trusses system to hold 6200 lbs load from 3 million pound Southwark-Emery testing machine.
Extended Portable Table Design
CONSIDERATE DESIGN FOR DORM STUDENT
Used Creo to design jig and plate for an extended portable table for dorm students
Presented the design process and the final outcome with motion animation and exploded view
