Projects
Instruments, robots and the occasional experiment that didn't work.
- SCARA colour-sorting robotA 4-DOF SCARA arm that learns with PPO to pick up coloured cubes and drop them in matching bins, deployed on ROS 2.
- Temperature-dependent impedance measurement systemAutomating an LCR meter to sweep impedance across frequency while controlling and logging sample temperature.
- Potentiostat for a vacuum sputter coaterA potentiostat built to replace the broken Pirani gauge on a sputter coater, using a PT100 in a Wheatstone bridge and Keithley ICs for I–V measurement.
- EEG-based mental health monitorReading EEG signals with a BioAmp EXG Pill and streaming them to a live web dashboard.
- EMG-controlled robotic handA robotic hand driven by muscle signals picked up with gel electrodes and a BioAmp EXG Pill.
- ESP32 droneA drone flight controller on an open-source ESP32 PCB, with IMU and barometer sensing and ESP-to-ESP wireless control.
- ESP32 RC carA wirelessly controlled RC car driven from a phone, with 12 V motors on dual L298N drivers.
- High-speed RC boatA DIY RC boat powered by brushless drone motors, built from low-cost parts and improvised fabrication.
- Line follower robotA three-sensor line follower that corrects its path on curves and junctions.
