Relativity Space

• Automation Engineering Intern

  • Jun 2018 - Aug 2018

  I was hired for a 12 week summer internship at Relativity Space. My primary project was the development and implementation of an end-to-end path-planning algorithm for the Stargate printer. The project was designed to enable the printing of more complex geometries than were possible with the then-current software solution. I also performed positional analysis on current and future development cells to determine optimal positioning of cell components for printing specific part geometries. Additionally, I performed several maintenance and enhancement tasks on Relativity's KUKA robotic arms.



Olin Robotics Lab

• Research Intern - Autonomous Vehicle Lab

  • Jun 2017 - Sep 2017

  Worked as a summer research intern on bottom-up development of a system to transport supplies from an offshore supply ship to various front-line locations in a war zone using an integrated system of UAVs and UGVs. Proof of concept design involves designing and implementing autonomy on a large ground vehicle at both low and high level and interfacing between multiple robots. The research also involves road detection and navigation, GPS positioning, and overall arbitration between several different navigation algorithms.

• Undergraduate Research Engineer - Human-Robot Interaction

  • Sep 2016 - Jun 2017

  Worked in the Olin Robotics Lab researching human-robot interaction both through play experience and through other forms of interaction. This research is attempting to bridge the gap between robots and humans, giving robots sensors and safety protocols to perceive and avoid humans, as well as autonomous protocols to allow them to predict human behavior and react/interact accordingly.
