Root-AI Project - Linear Drive Sub-assembly
Project Summary
-
Designed a linear motion system for a system's perception module
Project Steps
-
Coordinated with the project stakeholders to determine requirements, space claim and project timeline
-
Created a high-level layout to fit assembly in tight space claim
-
Calculated motor and pulley belt sizing based on math and acceleration requirements
-
Conducted preliminary and and critical design reviews
-
Designed, detailed and released 20+ custom parts
Skills Learned
-
Experience sizing motors and belt drive system
-
Bringing a robotic assembly from start to finish
​
Root-AI Project - Test Bed
Project Summary
-
Lead the design and fabrication of a test-bed used in the validation and testing of new grippers
-
Required the integration of hardware and pneumatics with a basic electrical circuit and software
-
Featured "hot swap" plates to allow for a quick and tool-less operation of the unit
-
Used a modular design language that allows modification to be easily made or any future tests
Project Steps
-
Coordinated with the project stakeholders to determine the unit's constraints and required features set
-
Generated a theory of operation
-
Created an initial layout design and held a PDR to get stakeholder buy in
-
Held a CDR before releasing and ordering parts
-
Assembled the test-bed and completed validation testing
Skills Learned
-
Got exposure to working with stakeholders to develop requirements and a working theory of operation
-
Furthered my experience with preparing for and holding effective design reviews
-
Experience with making of basic electrical circuits
