Everything here physically exists (or existed). There's a video on every page — seeing a thing move beats reading about it.
roughly in the order I built them
- teachingfirst robotsa gesture-controlled car, a self-balancing bot, and a maze solver. where it all started.
- deployedthe feeder, the boat, and the coin sortera cat feeder for the lab cat, a river-cleaning boat, and a coin sorter built in 24 hours.
- retiredVVMsay “pick up the red ball” and a robot arm finds it and picks it up. my first ROS2 project.
- teachingMARIOthe 3-DOF arm students learn ROS2 on at my college. I ported it off a dying simulator and made it nicer to use.
- retirede-Yantra dronea drone flying itself around a simulated warehouse, reading ArUco markers to know where it is. we reached the national semifinals.
- prototypeKurmaa four-legged robot that walks like a turtle. slow, stable, hard to tip over.
prototypestair-climbing wheelchairinternship at NishCorp: making their wheelchair exist in simulation before it existed in steel, then helping build the half-scale prototype.
deployedsmart switch boardI made my wall switches smart. started as a hobby, now I want to make it a real product.- validateda forklift that knows where it issummer research internship at a defence company. autonomous forklift, naval dockyard, no GPS. we ended up writing our own radio ranging firmware.
