I worked on the localization of the Scalable Autonomous Vehicle implementing the differential GPS research. To further the project, path planning could be used but was not done in the semester.
Other parts of the project:
• Retrofitted a 10th scale electric car with an Arduino Mega, multiple motor controllers, and a custom wiring harness
• PID controlled linear actuator to minimize overshoot and undershoot in steering
• Motor control with hall-effect sensors and magnets to use as… Show more

• Modelled the vehicle’s steady state handling behavior with minimal deviation from real life tests Show less

The team put hours of research into the fluid dynamics related to the Hyperloop. Research was done on choked flow, vacuum pressure, and aerodynamic design. Conclusions were made and put together in a presentation later followed by Q&A.

My team put together a 50+ page technical proposal regarding a Public Transportation Solution for the City of San Jose's Department of Transportation. The project aimed to meet San Jose's Green Vision and Vision Zero. The project was for our Engineering Technical Writing course. A 30 minute powerpoint presentation was conducted for the class.

The team was required to learn how to solder, program using CEasy, and design a robot with an arm. Extra time outside of class was required for the completion of the robot. I individually designed and built the structure of the robot with some guidance from the VEX instructional manual to build the chassis. I had freedom to design the arm. My teammates Jenil Thakker and Rohan Patel worked on the programming with aid from Veronica Romo. They used the downloadable go to beacon code given by the… Show more

The team was required to learn how to solder, program using CEasy, and design a robot with an arm. Extra time outside of class was required for the completion of the robot. I individually designed and built the structure of the robot with some guidance from the VEX instructional manual to build the chassis. I had freedom to design the arm. My teammates Jenil Thakker and Rohan Patel worked on the programming with aid from Veronica Romo. They used the downloadable go to beacon code given by the instructor. Ryan Livingston and Domenic Lestochi completed the electrical part, the IR board, by soldering using resistors, capacitors, transistors, LED lights, sockets for integrated circuits, IR detectors, connectors, and fuses. The goal of the robot was to identify frequencies of two different beacons. The robot needed to turn off one beacon and drag another beacon out of the arena using the arm. Show less

The purpose of this project was to CAD a blade and build a structure to make a wind turbine. The first goal was to have the highest output power using mathematical theories about wind and the blade design. The second goal was to have the stiffest tower structure by using strong/light materials in the best geometric form. Our project did not have the output power desired, but the team discussed and found out what went wrong and how it could be easily fixed.
