What I've Built
A collection of robots, systems, and experiments — from combat arenas to walking gaits. Each one taught me something a textbook couldn't.
Autonomous systems, legged locomotion, combat robots, and manipulation.
001 — LEGGED LOCOMOTION
The Sheriff — Bipedal Robot
A bipedal robot designed, constructed, programmed, and controlled from scratch for Robot Studio, culminating in a successful choreographed dance performance.
002 — MANIPULATION & PERCEPTION
SantaBot — Robotic Holiday Display
A dual-mode robotic manipulation workflow on a Kinova Gen3 Lite that autonomously identifies, grasps, and places objects, validated in ROS2/Gazebo and RViz and then executed on the physical robot during a live presentation.
003 — MANIPULATION & PERCEPTION
Any-ttach — Quick End-effector Swapping for Manipulation Dexterity
A tool-centric manipulation framework from the Duke Robotic Dexterity Lab that treats end-effector swapping as a primary mechanism for dexterity. I contributed to the hardware.
004 — MANIPULATION & PERCEPTION
Robot Arm Initials — Midterm Project
Programmed a robot arm to write initials autonomously as a midterm project in robotics.
005 — COMBAT ROBOTICS
Scrappy — 1 lb Antweight Combat Robot
A 1 lb antweight RC combat robot designed, manufactured, and iteratively improved through five versions for Duke and regional competitions, with an overall 19–8 career record.
Control systems, mechatronics, medical devices, and hardware design.
006 — MECHATRONICS
AutoSauce — Senior Year Capstone
Senior year capstone project — an automated sauce dispensing system designed and built from scratch.
007 — MECHATRONICS
State Fair Project — Senior Year
Senior year project entered in a state fair engineering competition.
008 — CONTROL SYSTEMS
Maglev PID Controller
A LabVIEW PID controller for a magnetic levitation system that tracked inputs at frequencies up to 60 Hz and amplitudes up to 0.25 cm, the most dynamic controller in the class.
009 — STRUCTURAL
Pump Platform Project
Designed and analyzed a structural platform for pump mounting under load conditions.
010 — MANUFACTURING
Vise Stop Machining Project
Designed and machined a vise stop fixture for precision workholding in a mill setup.
011 — MECHATRONICS
Retro Arcade Rube Goldberg Machine
A retro-arcade-themed Rube Goldberg machine that transported a golf ball without human intervention, completing two successful runs within 8 minutes, a speed record within the class.
012 — STRUCTURAL
Pressure Vessel Design Project
Designed and analyzed a pressure vessel to ASME standards, including wall thickness calculations and safety factor verification.
013 — MEDICAL DEVICES
Prone Ventilation Table
A medium-fidelity prototype of a first-of-its-kind medical table to assist with the prone-position ventilation of COVID-19 and trauma patients, developed for Duke Hospital and accepted by the client.
