robotics

I have used my design knowledge in synchronous with coding and electronics to create inventive robotics designs. In this section, you will find my greatest robotics projects and see how the tools I have collected through learning have been used to create something I am truly proud of.

gesture-controlled robot

Early in 2020, my classmate, Vanessa Bottero, and I set out to design and create our very own personal robot. With months of trial and error of teaching ourselves how to build a robot from scratch, the small successes slowly accumulated, and the result was a fully functioning robot that is controlled wirelessly by a glove (loaded with sensors) that communicates wirelessly. The orientation of the fingers also allow the robot to enter several different modes of navigation. You can find the full video of the working robot on my LinkedIn (find on Contact page).

First place-u of t design league: Secure package storage system

In February of 2020, my team and I participated in the U of T Design League Competition. Our task was to design and prototype a secure way of receiving and storing packages in residential homes. My role on the team primarily involved the design of the electrical components and their connection to the physical mechanisms. Using an Arduino, I devised a motor-controlled locking mechanism that when the correct pin was typed, unlocked the door to either the delivery person, or the owner. Upon completion, my team delivered a technical presentation to a series of judges and experts and we were awarded the first place prize.
