PROJECT EXPERIENCE
Temperature Control System:
Fall 2014
Designed and implemented a control system to regulate the temperature in a body of water. To control the
temperature in the target system, a separate bath of ice water was used as a coolant. This ice water flowed into the
desired system through a solenoid valve being controlled by an Arduino Uno. A proportional controller was used to
reduce the error between the desired and current temperatures provided through feedback from a temperature
sensor.
Autonomous Quadruped Robot:
Fall 2014
Designed, 3D printed, and developed a Quadruped Robot that 12 Degrees of Freedom. The software Autodesk
Inventor was used to model the system before being exported to a Slicing Program which then allowed for the 3D
printing of the system. To control the system an Arduino Mega clone that specialized in running multiple servos
simultaneously was used. Serial communication was established with the microcontroller through a simple python
script to determine the proper angles of each motor required for static stability of the system on three legs. With that
information, a gait was generated and implemented for the movement of the Quadruped.
Remotely Operated Surveillance Vehicle:
Spring 2014
Worked with a group of four students to design and develop a remotely controlled vehicle. To control this vehicle
remotely, a python script was written and executed on a Raspberry Pi through a secure shell connection. The code
allowed user input for directional control of the vehicle. These instructions were communicated to a Parallax
Propeller Activity board from the Pi to which then controlled the DC motors in a manner that would satisfy the user
input.
