With the focus on robotics, I have branched out in many directions exploring many elements that make up the robotics framework. These include low voltage electrical designs [PCBs, wiring diagrams, safety systems, sensor filters], embedded software/hardware systems [controllers, CANbus architecture, micro-python], high level control systems [ROS, ROS2, control systems, path planning]. Other niche things involve working in fields of research around acoustics and vibrations.The robotics journey began with UTS Motorsports where I learned how to manage multiple projects and developing the necessary understanding of what makes an end-to-end robotics engineer. The dedication and drive had landed me a placement at a startup forming its foundations and driving their robotics sector. Here I have setup the robotics framework starting from motor controller for BLDCs to high level control systems.

Research InternshipUts Tech Lab Jan 2023 - Jul 2023Sydney, New South Wales, AustraliaDuring the internship, I worked on developing and calibrating test systems for researchers in vibration and acoustics. I also managed communication between team members and laboratory staff when booking equipment. The system being developed was an optical accelerometer capable of transmitting signals over large distances with little loss in signal integrity. This knowledge could be applied to structural health monitoring (SHM) of various materials.Used a range of equipment such as the LPA 600, MFG-2260MFA Function Generator, NI 9171 DAQ Module, DSOX2004A oscilloscope, V406 vibration shaker, range of laser doppler vibrometry (LDV) devices and calibration vibrators. Other things I used involved analytic tools such as LabView, Simcenter, and Polytech to gather and process data. Solidworks and Autodesk were also used to develop models to understand the employed systems better. This involved making developing models for clients, 3D renders for exhibitions posters etc.The majority of the work involved different sensor (accelerometer) calibration tests and validations, setting up and testing various conditions to test the SHM fibre optic network. As a result, gained experience in using advanced tools to develop and calibrate systems for structural health monitoring systems, which could be useful in detecting and preventing damage to various materials.Was encouraged to use this understanding to develop a research proposal, with the goal of having completed a research paper by the end of the internship. The paper will involve the methods of model updating techniques based on experimental data to characterise an orthotropic material with the help of Comsol Multiphysics software. -
