Experience building mechatronic systems using microcontrollers such as the Arduino and Raspberry Pi.
Built:
A lead screw mechanism with position feedback
Network Integrated Roomba
Added WiFi to an old robotic vacuum, allowing a user to remotely command the robot to carry out cleaning. Integrated the vacuum to a smart home network, using the MQTT network communication protocol.
Dissected the original Roomba, and learned about how it uses IR sensors and limit switches to carry out semi-intelligent cleaning.
