3D-printed cycloidal drive
After college, I wanted to keep making robotics-based projects. Keep my mind fresh for the eventual grad return once I find my research inspiration. I have always been interested in the unique gearboxes of harmonic drives and cycloidal drives found in industrial robotic wrists. Planetary gearboxes are cool and all,…

Laser cut/engraved mementos
Designed some laser cut and engraved keychains for my friends before I finish my undergraduate degree and no longer have access to the lab’s laser cutter T.T. I wanted to make designs representative of their respective degrees. Here’s a breakdown of the process Start with key chain idea and sketch…

Ultrasonic Proximity Sensor
As a final project for university mechatronics course, I made a rudimentary 3d scanner using an ultrasonic sensor. Previously, I had messed around with 3D plots in MATLAB and this was a decent reason to utilize 3d visualization. The course, although theoretical information was new like filtering circuits and op-amps,…

Wood Monitor Arm
Replicating monitor arm mechanics with springs / hardwood because I didn’t want to buy one (and ended up spending 10x the cost and time) 2019-2020, my freshman year at the University of California, Riverside. I was still an undeclared major trying to transfer into mechanical engineering so I had yet…
