SAILR

One of the coolest and most stressful projects I've ever jumped headfirst into. Boeing sponsored a senior capstone called AerosPACE, which tasked teams of 9-10 multidisciplinary engineers across multiple schools in the United States to design, build, and test an unmanned aerial system (UAS) to accomplish a mission of the team's choosing.

I had significant roles in CAD, FEA, and verification and validation strategy to ensure structural integrity of the UAS. Meanwhile, I learned a ton about selection of avionics and propulsion components, CNC and composites manufacturing, and a little bit of aerodynamics.

Full details are linked in our final report and final presentation.

Line Following Robot

The final project for my intermediate-level controls course at Purdue (ME 375) was to assemble a provided robot kit and design a closed-loop feedback system with a controller to navigate the robot down a L-shaped track autonomously without touching the walls. A line was provided down the middle of the track for tracking purposes. All robot code was developed using LabVIEW and executed via a myRIO microcontroller mounted on the robot.

While this was a fairly standard undergraduate controls project, this was the project that made me fall in love with control systems and feedback loops. I was responsible for the development of the robot's software within LabVIEW, as well as the implementation of a proportional integral (PI) controller for the robot's motor controls.


For academic integrity reasons, our final report for this project will only be available upon request.
