Engineering Projects

Designing and integrating  a 4-degree-of-freedom robotic arm for an autonomous exploration rover, focusing on mechanical design, structural analysis, and subsystem integration to ensure stability, durability, and competition reliability. 

Developed a compact, gear-based haptic feedback mechanism for a robotic catheter system, integrating force, pressure, and displacement sensors to improve operator control accuracy, stability, and procedural safety.

Designed and fabricated a soft pneumatic robotic gripper using 3D-printed molds and silicone casting, experimentally evaluating the effects of finger length scaling and pressure levels on grasping performance and replicability.

Designed a multifunctional patient mobility aid to support safe bed-to-stand transfers, integrating a rotating assist handle, wheel-locking system, and adjustable supports to improve stability and user independence.

Designed a concept-level 5-DOF robotic arm with a precision needle end-effector, supported by CAD modeling, motion studies, and static FEA to evaluate structural feasibility and motion constraints.
