As my capstone project, my team was tasked with designing, building, and testing a multi-axis thrust measurement system, capable of measuring forces and torques in all 3 axes.
Throughout the Autonomous Systems course at Michigan Tech, my lab partner and I used ROS to simulate and control a turtlebot to perform different tasks. The culmination of our learning was a competition against our peers to exit a maze, follow a cylinder, and avoid other robots autonomously.
Throughout the course, my lab partner and I worked with open source servo and DC motor hardware connected to an ESP-32 board programmed in C++ using Arduino IDE. The final project consisted of completed a task selected from a list of tasks, using control and simulation methods of our choosing.
