• Conducted qualitative and quantitative analyses using internal and external sources, including databases, information services, and internet resources

Use commercial software to convert CAD models of existing machines to physics-based dynamics models with the objective of building a digital twin of a variety of industrial robots. The dynamical models will be validated and used in developing robotic controls and ML-based failure mode analysis, as well as machine monitoring.
