Robotics and Automation

2016

For one of my graduate studies, I was a part of designing an automated platform that caught a falling object and brought it to rest in a given time period and max acceleration constraint.

​

I was the lead for the controller design team and was also on the modeling and simulation team.

​

​

My past experience primed me for the PID control design work, having hand tuned many PID controllers, however, using the skills gained in this project I can now design a PID controller from scratch, as well as lead and lag systems for passive and/or active control.​
