Robotics Project

By following the iterative design process, I independently designed, tested, and analyzed a 3D-printed leg to propel a standard robot across a 1 m course. The design optimized speed and mass.

​

Additionally, I collaborated with a group of five to develop a complete robot capable of travelling forwards, detecting an obstacle, and returning to its starting position. Speed and mass were also optimized, as well as efficiency and manufacturability. My group developed the design iteratively, assembled and tested the robot, carried out modifications and design improvements, and quantified the performance of the robot with hand calculations, comparisons with other designs, and a sensitivity analysis.
