DJI Robomaster Competition
ILLINI ROBOMASTER
TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT
During the Covid-19 era with stay home order, I was in charge of the development of the ammunition loader system and then worked on the iterated chassis and suspension project with a focus on the second iteration of the suspension system.
Ammunition Loader System
MECHANICAL ENGINEER
Implemented the new design of the ammunition loader system to lower the center of mass for better maneuverability. Combined hundreds of parts to ten main 3D printed parts for prototyping and feasibility testing. Designed unit joint housing to mount ammunition loader system to multiple robots
Modular Independent Suspension System
MECHANICAL ENGINEER
Replaced rigid mounting motors with MacPherson analogized independent suspension to protect robot from shocks and vibrations. Iterated suspension assembly with modular design, Design for Assembly (DFA), and Design for Manufacturing (DFM) skills through Solidworks to reduce assemble time and enable quick replacement. Eliminated interferences and reduced weight using Solidworks’ motion simulation and topology optimization
Ammunition Loader
EMBEDDED CONTROLS ENGINEER
Used STM32-Robomaster-Type-A development board with STM32CubeIDE to control DJI 3508 motor by CAN and PWM through C++ code for the ammunition loader system
