Condor Multirotor
Condor is a powerful Quadcopter with a max take off weight of 12kg, 120km/h speeds and a 1500mm "wing span".
Condor is a multipurpose aircraft which can fly completely autonomously with centimeter accuracy using RTK GNSS. It can complete a wide array of missions from surveillance, geographic surveys and package deliveries!
Aurelius 6 Axis Industrial Robot Arm (In progress)
I am currently working on a 6 degree of freedom robot arm capable of picking up 1kg objects and 1cm precision. The goal of this project is to use computer vision to identify objects and have the robot arm pick them up based on voice commands. On the right, we can see both the first and second axes working. I am working on getting the next axes finished.
I am currently writing software to allow for autonomous motion using inverse kinematics, creating a large PCB for all the electronics, designing all the mechanical aspects and manufacturing the robot arm using my 3D printer. It is a true Mechatronics and Software project which should be completed before November 2021.
In the long term, I wish to use this project as a platform to receive university funding to build an even larger and more functionally equipped robot.
Wireless CAN PCB
(In progress)
A passion project I am working on as a side job during my first Co-op. I recognized the need for a more efficient CAN communication system at my company, and decided to work after hours to design a PCB and write software that would allow for wireless CAN communication - greatly improving the ease of testing products. Beyond having a functional design, I am aiming to pass Electromagnetic Compatibility testing. This will push me to design an optimized PCB with low electromagnetic interference.
This is an ongoing project, and will be completed before November 2021.
Wall-E Autonomous Rover
An autonomous rover capable of self navigation. It can drive to a pre defined location with 1.5 meter radial accuracy. It can be deployed from our drones at over 30 meters altitude. I am leading a team of 7 engineer in this year long project.
This uses a GPS and Calibrated Magnetometer to identify it's direction and location. It then uses PID tuned differential steering to drive to that location!
Drone Winch
A winch that runs on a PID controller. This winch deploys a package from a drone at over 30 meters altitude. It uses a unique band brake design to control the speed of deployment. We use a debounced Rotary Encoder to calculate the speed, and feed it into our PID Controller which determines the amount of braking force we need to apply. After deploying the package, it reels back the line using the motor.
With a mass of just under 350g and deployment times of under 30 seconds, this represents a breakthrough in Drone package delivery systems.
Oven Controller
A controller for a reflow soldering oven. The controller runs on a combination of C++, Assembly 8051 and Python. The controller can be interacted with through the buttons, the motion sensor or through a Python GUI. A variable volume speaker reads out the temperature when requested, and the controller also sends an SMS to your phone. All this enclosed in a 3D printed case!
Scorpion Medical Delivery Rover
This rover is used in tandem with a drone to assist in medical package delivery.
It is controlled with a radio frequency transmitter. It has First Person View live video stream, and is capable of picking up 1Kg packages as identifying the contents of a package using a QR scanner!
AI Tic-Tac-Toe
A python GUI that allows users to play Tic-Tac-Toe against a smart computer, or against each other. I designed the graphical user interface, and wrote all the code using Python. The computer makes smart choices against you, and is very difficult to beat! The game has a bunch of extra features such as a main game screen, keeping score and win/lose animations!
Project Yokai
An attempt to build a quadcopter from the ground up using 3D printed parts and off the shelf microcontrollers. 2 engineers and I are currently writing a PID controller in C++ to operate the drone. This project has allowed me to gain insights into autonomous robotics, as we are working on the software and hardware from the ground up.
Attached onto this quadcopter base will be a second driving base. This will allow the quadcopter to drive along the ground, and then detach from the driving base to complete a separate air mission if required.
Fixed Wing (VTOL)
A 1.5 meter wingspan fixed wing with two control surfaces (Elevator, Rudder). It uses servos to control it's altitude and direction. Equipped with a 3S 1300mAh LiPo, an FS-IA6B receiver and a 1180Kv pusher motor. I am planning on converting this into a VTOL, using a Quad plane configuration. Due to COVID-19 I am still waiting on a few shipments, but once I get those the sky's the limit!
Two Wheel Autonomous
Rover
An autonomous rover capable of self balancing and self navigation. It can drive to a pre defined location with 1.5 meter radial accuracy. I built this last year with a team of 5 engineers.
450mm Quadcopter
A 450mm Quadcopter capable of autonomous flight through a PixHawk microcontroller. Built during my first year of university.
The PDB is integrated into the frame allowing for a simple wiring setup, and the attachment landing gear provides safe landing
Assembly 8051 Alarm Clock
A full Alarm Clock written in Assembly 8051. It's an alarm clock with a lot of bonus features such as a stopwatch, a timer, and it also prints out inspirational messages on the screen to get your day started right!
You can set your alarm or access the bonus features through the push buttons. I used an AT89LP51RC2 microcontroller to achieve this.
