Automated Robotic Linkage Mechanism

Machine Design Fall 2021 - MECE E3409

​

Leading a team of 5 engineers to design, build, and control a complex linkage mechanism to press arcade buttons in sequence as quickly as possible. Responsible for:

• Team management

• Kinematic planning.

• Creation of a detailed 3D model.

• Manufacturing of linkage components.

• Wiring.

• Sensor usage.

• Signal processing.

• Transmission design.

• Control system tuning.

• Actuation. 

​

I was challenged to apply all the skills required to develop every aspect of an
automated robotic linkage while managing a talented team of engineers.
This was the main project of a required course in Columbia University's

mechanical engineering curriculum.
