Overview The Chessboard consists of the following: Motivation For the past few years, I’ve picked up an interest in chess and have found myself challenging faceless foes on chess.com quite often during my free time. However the allure of playing on a two dimensional screen could only last so long, and while I was working …
Introduction: For my Senior Design project I teamed up with three other Tufts students and worked under the guidance of an engineer at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center to develop a proof-of-concept design for a lifting body which would be used to collect data on Uranus. Our goal was to prove it is possible to …
The Goal I worked with a group of four other students in my robotics class to design and build a quadruped robot dog in the style of Boston Dynamic’s “Spot” robot. It needed to be able to respond to visual inputs, walk, and dance while maintaining resemblance to a real dog. We took inspiration from …
Background: My Role: My job was to develop an acoustic model of sound wave propagation in the tube in order to predict what pressures the MEMS microphones should be reading given an input frequency. Acoustic models are common and well documented, however this one was uniquely challenging for a few reasons: My Process I used …
The Problem I built this remote controlled driving robot as part of a group final project for my electromechanical systems class. The goal of the project was to create a remote controlled robot which could drive to the elevator, press elevator buttons and give a high five to the head of the Mechanical Engineering department. …
In the Summer of 2021 I worked with Vitae Industries to redesign parts on their Pharmaceutical Autocompounder with the goal of reducing costs and increasing durability Challenges included: I would redesign a part, make contact with a manufacturer to get a quote, and then iterate the design base on their feedback. was able to find …
I built this two link serial arm with two classmates as a project for my systems and controls class. The goal was to have the pen on the end draw a shape on a piece of paper given input coordinates. We were given two DC motors with encoders and an arduino to create a closed …
I made this CAD model for a class assignment where we tore down an electric knife to better understand the mechanical and electromechanical systems which it uses to operate. We took careful measurements of every part of the knife so we could replicate the assembly in Solidworks. I was responsible for making each part individually …
My final project for my Methods for Human Factors Engineering class was to design a product with the target users being teens of ages 13-17. I decided to design a set of smart dumbbells which are aimed at helping teens get and stay in shape. The dumbbells would have interchangeable weights and an accompanying app …
