EMG Controlled Prosthetic Arm

December 01, 2024

Overview

This project was completed as part of my guided reading on Robots for Disability and demonstrates an approach to controlling a robotic hand using MyoWare EMG sensors. By detecting muscle activity, the system interprets the intensity of muscle flexing and translates it into real-time movements of a robotic hand. I might be late to the party, with startups like Psyonic, Esko Bionics, and Esper Bionics already leading the way in this field, but working on this project was an invaluable learning experience!

Abstract:

SonarDuino

December 01, 2023

“SonarDuino” is an innovative project that delves into the realm of robotics, specifically focusing on creating a 360-degree radar system for object detection. The project aims to enhance the capabilities of locomotion robots by providing them with the ability to detect the boundaries of their surroundings. This project demonstrates the use of an ultrasonic sensor as a SOund NAvigation and Ranging equipment with the use of an Arduino Mega for processing and collecting data. Visualization of objects detected by the system is presented through a GUI (replicating a SONAR scanning system).

Analysis of cooling of a gas turbine blade

June 01, 2023

An in-depth analysis was conducted on the cooling performance of gas turbine blades. The focus of the study was on blades modeled using the NACA 65 series. The primary objective was to assess and optimize the cooling efficiency through the manipulation of various key parameters, including material composition, cross-sectional design, number of cooling holes, and the type of cooling fluid employed.
