Hardware Intern

• May 2018 - Aug 2018

This internship started with a box of robot parts, a raspberry pi with a google AIY kit, and a couple FPGAs. Our goal was to make a fully autonomous robot that got around with 6 legs and was able to handle maneuvering through terrain without human intervention, whilst taking voice commands from the user. This was a bit of a tall order for a 10 week internship, so the robot never got the chance to even walk around the office, but my team and I were able to practice a lot of embedded engineering skills whilst designing the subsystems. I started with the AIY kit and was able to leverage google's voice assistant API to take voice commands and execute arbitrary code as we needed. At the end of it, we had developed our own protocol for to talk to the robot using zigbee RF modules and managed to send control signals from a host computer remotely with a controller to the robot's host computer. We made the decision to control the robot with a controller to make our development process easier, however time was already running too short, so we began work on our presentation to the company, with full knowledge that our robot would not be walking around and interaction with our coworkers. This gave us an incredible opportunity to talk about what we had learned, not only covering all the particular programming languages, APIs, tools, and hardware, but also all the lessons in proper project scoping, team communication, and dealing with failure. - Implemented the primary robot control system and user interface - Developed a custom voice controller using Google Speech API - Designed Host-to-FPGA servo control protocol (real-time, bandwidth efficient) and implemented via custom C++ libraries - Worked in a small team using Agile methodologies - Presented and demonstrated project accomplishments to a non-technical audience Show less

Summer Intern

• Jun 2017 - Aug 2017

The goal of this 10 week internship was to reverse engineer commercially available quadcopters and see what we could do with the vulnerabilities found in the firmware. - Reverse engineered commercially available quadcopters to immerse ourselves in the process of Attack, Defense, and Analysis of IoT devices - Developed Python scripts and Arduino programs to read input from a joystick and send out commands to a drone from a laptop with an RF chip connected to it via Arduino - Used IDA Pro to decompile firmware and analyze attack vectors Show less
