Member of team of 4 successfully prototyped an autonomous glove that would grip cylindrical objects. Integral part of all stages of product design, from obtaining requirements from the commercial sponsor to presenting the final prototype. Primary responsibility was the electronic control system. Utilized linear actuators with potentiometers to control.

Maintained 20+ computers (PC and Mac) and printers within 5 on-campus labs.Coordinated 20 hour/week work schedule with full course load.Get-a-Grip gripping glove for

Leader of a team of 3 that successfully built and demonstrated an autonomous robot thatwould chase a remotely controlled robot. Used IR LEDs and sensors to identify and track Jerry. Programmed abasic ATOM to control the chasing robot.
