During the Summer of 2014 I had the pleasure of working in Stanford's Biomimetics / Dextrous Manipulation Laboratory run by Professor Mark Cutkosky. I worked on many projects, primarily designing a jump glider with extensible wings and mini-quadrotor perching for surveillance.
I learned skills in rapid ideation and prototyping, hacking a quadrotor operating system, design of experiments, mechatronic design, Arduino programming, signal processing and analysis, and stress analysis
Please follow this link to my summer blog to learn more about my iterative processes during these projects:
My summer work was recently published in a paper sent to the International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems.
