Developing a compact valve-like system in order to hold pressure in soft robots for their applications, while also being minimally complex. In addition, adding on a sensor to the valve to get an accurate reading on the current pressure being held by the system. The goal is to create a better assistive soft robot for human applications.

Worked remotely as part of Dr. Ricardo de Castro's research team at UC Merced. Selected and procured components for a small scale autonomous vehicle (F1-10th) and assembled the vehicle in preparation for establishing his lab. Employed additive manufacturing techniques to create custom-made parts for the vehicle to support the components and parts chosen. Also prepared the mechanical, electrical and programming interfaces for the prototype. Engaged throughout the process in documenting steps and instructions, including the steps for the interfaces, so that the process would be easily repeatable and adoptable to design changes.
