Self-Parking Chair

Mobile chair base

Designed and built prototype of robotic self-parking chair capable of moving a 200-pound person.

Designed the mechanical and electrical components, then manufactured them.

Wrote high-level and low-level software for onboard computer and microcontrollers.

Conducted tests, analyzed the prototype’s performance, discovered a design flaw and made a completely new design.

Built and tested a second prototype which satisfied company’s goals for mobility, load capacity and stability.

My research involves navigation and perception in unstructured environments, with a focus on autonomous landing of multirotors and eVTOL aircraft. I also have experience in building photorealistic software-in-the-loop simulations for UAVs.
