Mobile Manipulator Platform for Rescue Operations
Mobile Manipulator Platform for Rescue Operations
Developed a test platform used in pHRI research to evaluate how a robot can safely manipulate and extract humans in rescue scenarios. I built the mobile base supporting two 7-DoF Franka Panda arms and integrated a linear capstan-actuated active mass translation system to stabilize the platform during dynamic load shifts. This testbed enables controlled experiments to gather data on safe human–robot physical interaction under real-world constraints.
Adaptive Morphing Leg for Search and Rescue Robots
Adaptive Morphing Leg for Search and Rescue Robots
Designed a robotic leg with a reconfigurable 5-bar linkage that enables dynamic switching between high-speed traversal and high-force load dragging. I built a testbed to validate simulation models by measuring real-world force output, then developed a bipedal prototype that demonstrated real-time transitions between locomotion modes. The system uses a custom non-backdrivable capstan actuator and Python/CAN control to execute stable gait cycles in both configurations.

Project Overview:
Project Overview:
Led the end-to-end design and development of competition robots as President and Lead Mechanical Engineer. Spearheaded the mechanical redesign of a projectile-launching robot, creating a high-torque drivetrain and slip-ring turret that greatly improved rotation speed, firing accuracy, and reliability. Managed and mentored multidisciplinary subteams through every stage of the process—from concept and CAD modeling to machining, assembly, and on-field testing.

Autonomous Vehicle Music Production
Autonomous Vehicle Music Production
Project Overview:
Project Overview:
Implemented autonomous driving on an RC car platform using existing ROS2 and OpenCV packages for line-following navigation. My work included integrating a color-detection module that triggered musical notes during operation. The focus was on practical system integration, debugging, and ensuring reliable hardware-software interaction for autonomous control.
Automated Shaft Design Script
Automated Shaft Design Script
Project Overview:
Project Overview:
This MATLAB script automates the shaft design process for combined bending and torsion loads through iterative calculations. It dynamically incorporates stress concentration and material factors in each cycle, converging to an optimal diameter within five iterations. The tool streamlines a traditionally manual process reliant on chart lookups.
Sustainable Structural Desk
Sustainable Structural Desk
Project Overview:
Project Overview:
Engineered a lightweight, sustainable desk using only small 12×18-inch chipboard sheets, without adhesives or fasteners. The structure used an interlocking matrix design refined through iterative FEA and topology optimization in SolidWorks. The final prototype supported 11.8 kg while weighing only 0.12 kg, achieving a performance index of 98.25 and showcasing the potential of efficient, recyclable design.
