The Autonomous Tumor Detection and Excision Robot
In this project, we simulate a tumor with magnetic Fe3O3 nanoparticles and silicone and utilize a magnetic sensor to recognize the tumor determine the magnetic field of the tumor. We designed and built a gantry system robot to cut the tumor.
Steerable 4-legged walking Robot
In this project, we design and bulid a steerable 4 legged walking robot.
Walking Machine Design – Reindeer Walker
In this project, I worked on a NASA project that builds
a lunar rover while in college. For this project, my team is in charge of the drivetrain part. We research, design, manufacture, and test the prototype so that the drivetrain section provides stability, power, and traction. It turns out that our lunar rover can successfully walk in the sandbox.
NASA X-Hab 2021 Academic Innovation Challenge – Pathbuilder Project
In this project, we built a Pathbuilder to assist the Artemis missions for NASA’s Moon to Mars explorations. And our subgroup is researched choosing material, thermal control, dust control, Slip and Traction Control. We designed and manufactured the Drivetrain of the Pathbuilder
Project | Drone by Creo
In this project, we were assigned to pick an object which can break down to more than 50 pieces, and using the Creo to molding each piece and assemble together. So, we picked a Drone as our project, and I am responsible for molding the camera part.
Project | AQI calculator for Fargo
In this project, we written a program to calculate the Air Quality Index of Fargo area. We build a huge database of the historic air quality of Fargo which include the concentration of particle pollution, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and ozone. We also created the separate code for each different air pollution, and an overall code to get the Air Quality index
