Designed and built a cost-effective mobile robot for research purposes. The main objective was to create a stable robot capable of carrying up to 100Kg while moving at 2m/s on a 10-degree incline. This was achieved using two powerful 350W motors and a sturdy frame that can be fabricated using high-density wood or aluminum.

I plan to use this robot base for future navigation and HRI-related projects.

This is a key project undertaken by the Khoury Robotics Club. The purpose of the project is to develop a cost-effective bipedal walking robot with 6 degrees of freedom (DoF), controlled by an RP2040 microcontroller integrated with a 9-axis IMU. This project is in development and will serve as an educational tool in undergraduate classes.

Spatially Handling Arm Projectile Evader (SHAPER)

Nov 2023 - Dec 2023
SHAPER Video

A genetic algorithm was employed to train a simulated robot arm to evade flying objects. The entire project was written using only NumPy and Pygame, without external libraries. The algorithm uses a novel multi-step scoring function that gradually increases the complexity of the target function the robot arms must learn. This method significantly improved training time compared to traditional genetic algorithms.

Mars Helicopter

October 2020 - December 2020
Mars Helicopter Project

Designed and 3D printed a small version of the Mars helicopter with counter-rotating propellers. The design has some stability issues, as it is highly sensitive to the center of gravity (CG) of the craft.

Frame Rate Doubling

January 2020 - March 2020

This project, developed during a hackathon, aimed to double the frame rate of a video using generative adversarial networks (GANs) and interpolation. It explored the benefits of storing and transmitting videos at half the frame rate while relying on the receiver to render the missing frames.
