Outline
My Mechanical Design Portfolio consists of 3 major works
● The chassis for a autonomous battlebot built for Duke Robotics Hackathon
● A robotic arm brace for automatic range of motion therapy
● A Mechanical Battery designed for maximize energy retention from a rotating shaft
Autonomous Battle-Bot (2016)
This bot was built for a week-long hackathon organized by the Duke Robotics Club. I participated in a 2 person team with Huimin He, a fellow Masters of Science student in Mechanical Engineering at Duke University. While we did not win the hackathon, it was a great learning experience for the both of us.
Robotic arm-brace for Range-of-Motion Therapy (2014)Designed as senior capstone project with Sean Hidaka, Sara Sedivy and Brock Beverly under the guidance of Dr. Taher Saif at UIUC
The device was designed to automate Range of motion therapy which is administered to stroke patients for muscular recovery

Mechanical battery (2014)
Designed as a final project for a Mechanical design class, the device offers a mechanism for storing energy from a mechanical shaft (not shown) rotating at several 100 rpm.
The device relies on a set of gears to transfer energy into an elastic band. The stored energy can then be used by engaging a clutch at the far end of the device.
