Performed extensive piece-part analysis of components in a space robotic arm, utilizing FEMAP for pre-processing and mesh control. NX Nastran to simulate stresses. Conducted model checks, frequency analysis with modal dynamics, ensuring the meshing of the piece parts were adequate to ensure proper FEA computation. Applied thermal and inertial loads respective of launch and operational conditions outlined in requirements.Created a testing plan implementing NASA STD 5020 to improve fastener assembly precision for robotic arms. Collaborating with many experienced engineers and subject matter experts to create relevant and impactful data sets. Led a team of 8 through the development of a 7-DoF arm over the course of 12 weeks. The arm utilizes a 3-2-2 design, spanning over 1.3m with the capability to pick up a 3kg object.Utilized SOLIDWORKS to design robotic arm; quick change tube connector allowing for length of arm to be adjustable, top-level assembly with the capability to animate the robotic armImplemented basic Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing to designed parts for robotic arm, as well as for supporting equipment for fastener testing Held multiple presentations to high level engineers on robotic arm & fastener plan; SCR, DR, CDR, Vector Check, TRR, TIMsConverted pre-existing Excel tools used to aid analysis to MATLAB decreasing analysis time by 10%

Under the leadership of Dr. Peschel; we worked on formulating an autonomous system for a robot to navigate through obstacles. We worked with Arduino code to build autonomous capabilities, as well as with electronic circuits to connect the center Arduino to other Arduinos as well as other electronic components.
