• I designed and constructed a prototype arm for a landmine deactivation rover. It is 33 cm long with 6 degrees of freedom. • It is controlled through Arduino and an android app I made in MIT App Inventor. • I designed and constructed a prototype arm for a landmine deactivation rover.

• Collaborated with 2 engineering students to design, build, and present an Arduino controlled compact exploration rover capable of jumping 30 cm in height. • Designed rover chassis in Solidworks, implemented Design for Assembly methods to achieve ease of assembly, and improved compactness and agility through chamfering, resulting in a 15% weight reduction. • Designed rover wheels with material analysis of PLA plastic elastic deformation to provide shock absorption of rover internals. • Collaborated with 2 engineering students to design, build, and present an Arduino controlled compact exploration rover capable of jumping 30 cm in height. • Designed rover chassis in Solidworks, implemented Design for Assembly methods to achieve ease of assembly, and improved compactness and agility through chamfering, resulting in a 15% weight reduction. • Designed rover wheels with material analysis of PLA plastic elastic deformation to provide shock absorption of rover internals.
