Projects
Smart Pill Dispenser, 06/25 - 07/25 Designed the mechanical system in SolidWorks and performed motion studies to validate mechanism accuracy. Designed, fabricated, and soldered a custom printed circuit board to integrate the electronic system into the device. Programmed the microcontroller to control the electronic system of the device. Built and programmed a user interface with an LED display and buttons for pill placement and alarm setup, allowing users to control the dispenser and motor functions.
Six Degrees of Freedom Platform Simulation, 12/2024 - 02/2025 Led the project through all stages, including mechanical design, fabrication, electronics, and software integration. Designed the platform in SolidWorks following specifications, and fabricated components using 3D printing and laser cutting machines. Designed, fabricated, and soldered a custom printed circuit board. Configured serial communication between the microcontroller and a Unity application to stream real-time motion data. Developed a Unity simulation of a robot flying over traffic synchronized to the platform's movements. Enabled user control of the robot to avoid collisions and win the game, creating a gamified simulation experience. Delivered a functional motion feedback system capable of enhancing immersive entertainment experiences.
