Projects

Fourth Year Design Project

I led a team of 5 undergraduate engineering students to build a functional prototype of a thought-controlled wheelchair.

  • Used C# to interface with Emotiv's .NET SDK to read the users thoughts.
  • Control logic implemented in C several Arduino's communicating via I2C.
  • Explored using Gaussian Processes as an alternative machine learning algorithm to improve classification accuracy of extremely noisy EEG signals.

Humanoid Project

Designed a 14 degree-of-freedom lower body humanoid robotic platform to verify the efficiency and efficacy of the walking control strategy proposed in my MASc research.

  • Did the complete electromechanical design in SolidWorks.
  • Electronics and other control hardware being provided by Quanser
  • Created full dynamic simulations + 3D visualization in Simulink + SimMechanics.
  • Real time control of the full robot being done QUARC.
