Hello! I’ve spent 1 month in Eindhoven meaning I’m long overdue for an update on my time here.
The most recent project in my Udacity nanodegree gave me a 6 jointed robot arm and a desired path for the robot's gripper. My job was to perform the inverse kinematic analysis to calculate the joint positions that will move the gripper along the requested path. After learning the forward kinematics and doing a full geometric analysis for the inverse kinematics, my robot arm was able to follow the paths it received with negligible error.
My undergraduate senior project tasked a group of 6 mechanical engineering students with designing and building an isokinetic exercise machine. Using the technology of a local startup we built a fully functional prototype after iterating from initial concepts to the final design. As the team leader I had the added responsibility of organizing team meetings and keeping everyone on the same page.
