Arie Lowe

• Self-Taught a robotics simulation software (ROBOGUIDE) to model work cells, simulate production flow, and write unique programs that would later be implemented on FANUC robots
• Fully automated specific sections of production lines, leading to significant reductions in cycle times, and labor costs
• Developed a calculator that helped production supervisors identify issues, and see an accurate theoretical effect on production to aid in process optimization

Researched, developed, and designed a Data Acquisition Device for testing and validation purposes

• Utilized Real Time Kinematic (RTK) to track position of a boat with centimeter-level accuracy
• Tracked numerous key statistics from device implementation and performed data analysis on the results

Prototyped 9 different competition vessels from start to finish

• Designed, fabricated, and assembled all wooden components for the skeleton, hull, and deck
• Researched boat wiring, developed electrical system, and wiring diagram, then integrated said system into 4 different vessels for testing purposes

Cross-team collaborated with NSWC Crane Interns to develop an Artificial Intelligence Sensor Package

• Corrected any errors that arose in the electrical system wiring diagram
• Integrated all sensors onto a boat and kept entire sensor suite within budget constraints

Researched and developed a fully autonomous hardware package that can be used with existing firmware for small scale autonomous vessel purposes
