Intern, Robotics Software Development

Jun 2018 – Aug 2018 · 2 mos · Cambridge, Massachusetts

I designed a dexterous 4-DoF two fingered robotic gripper for factory assembly task automation. I also developed control algorithms for the fingers to grasp objects and deployed ROS packages (in Python and C++), integrated code with existing robot arm control software.
Implemented a vision pipeline using OpenCV in C++, using fiduciary markers to localize the robot and to perform assembly tasks.
I'm Experienced with servo control and sensors for localization, mapping, detection and tracking.
