Advanced Robotics and Controls Lab (ARCLab), La Jolla, CAARCSnake V2: Snake-Like Robot with Screw Propulsion for Multi-Domain Mobility - Amphibious Snake-like robot designed for navigation through extreme environments that are too hazardous for humans-Revised the system to increase the power output of the screw block, optimizing locomotion efficiency Revisions: Increase Torque ratio, aligned belt drive, and built testbed to validate changes-Integrate hardware and mechanical design to complete the robot for underwater performance testingNASU – Novel Actuating Screw Unit-Created the first Archimedes screw-based propulsion design to enable the dynamic reconfiguration of the angle of attack for optimizing locomotion across multiple media (sand, gravel, dirt, grass, water)Voodoo Doll - 10-DOF Specialized Teleoperation Device-Designed universal joints with lockable positions aligned with Magnetic Encoders to track voodoo-doll configuration for teleoperated control of the joint position on ARCSnakeV2Experimental Mobile Screw Locomotion Testbed - used to find optimal screw design parameters-Manufactured testbed to allow for constrained movement in the axial direction, 6-DOF force measurement from screw sub-unit, and pairs of sub-units in both series and parallel configurations-Quantified Structural performance of mechanical design through SolidWorks FEAARCLAB Haptic Shoulder -Invented a novel U-joint to accurately mimic human shoulder motion for robotic rescue, considering joint center, mass, cable management, compliance, materials, prototyping, and kinematic analysis.-Incorporated motors and encoders into system design to reduce the complexity of software controls-Mentor other ARCLab members on mechanical design, fabrication techniques, and system troubleshooting

-Managing 17 team leads, across 5 technical, business, and other vertical groups, representing our club by interfacing with UCSD administration, competition committees, and sponsors-Responsible for increasing recruitment and fostering an inclusive team culture, growing the team from 20 to 80+ members, and increasing the portion of non-male members from 15% to over 35%-Creating Business, Marketing, and Project Development teams leading to a formal business plan, sponsorship packet, donation page, posters, furnishing of new space, and improving organization-Responsible for obtaining nationally recognized non-profit status, leading immediately to $3K in funds with an opportunity for corporate sponsorship and securing permanent workspace
