2DOF Robotic Arm Launcher - Masters Project

CNC & 3D Printed Coaxial Belt Drive

Adapting an existing metal chassis, a 3D printed belt system was designed to add a second degree of freedom, enabling rapid prototyping and discovery of angular momentum effects during throwing.

Brought to Hardware

Using ODrive motor controllers and CAN ROS2 communication, this project achieved synchronized 2DOF movement to isolate the effects of angular momentum during a projectile throw.

Fully documented on GitHub, utilizing a ROS2 package and an ESP32 pneumatic trigger via HTTP.

limited-slip differntial - Senior Project

Reverse Engineered CAST DESIGN

Redesigned a cast iron differential into a limited-slip configuration with an aluminum CNC body machined in-house. This prevents wheel spin-out when at least one wheel retains traction, improving vehicle control.

Limitied slip friction plates

Limited-slip action is achieved with custom friction pads that compress and lock the gearbox when bevel gears expand under high torque whick is when there is a torque imbalance between the wheels.

Differential Gearbox section view

The module is precisely toleranced with interchangeable disc springs, allowing adjustable breakaway torque for different slip thresholds.

Design Engineering Intern at MEGI Consulting
