Project
Design and fabrication of a 3-dimensional capacitive-based force sensor
- Conducted structural and electromechanical analyses in COMSOL to optimize the design
- Designed the parts using SolidWorks and built test prototypes using 3D printers
- Generated G-codes in Fusion 360 and fabricated the final parts using a CNC machine and machine shop tools
- Designed a printed circuit board (PCB) in EasyEDA for high-resolution capacitance measurement
- Developed firmware for real-time data acquisition and transmission via I2C and UART communication
A robotic manipulator for applying 3-directional force
- Designed and 3D-printed a custom end-effector for improving the adaptability
- Used Arduino to control the motion of the manipulator and integrated force sensors to measure applied forces
Interactive Image Processing Toolkit
- Implemented spatial and morphological image processing algorithms in C++ without external libraries
- Designed a Qt-based GUI for real-time visualization and interactive tuning of algorithm parameters
Temperature Logger
- Used a temperature sensor to measure temperature and a 4 digit 7 segment display to show the current temperature
- Used a Raspberry Pi as a web server and published temperature readings on a web page
Automation of a water treatment system
- Used Autocad Plant 3d to model the water treatment plant and RSLogix Micro for PLC programming
- Used Wonderware to design the human machine interface (HMI) and Microsoft SQL Server for data extraction
