During the summer of 2022, I had an internship at a robotics startup in Cambridge MA. While there, I headed the implementation of an electrical enclosure system. This process had me spec, fabricate, test, create schematics, modify as devices were swapped, and purchase components necessary for the safety of users while also allowing for future customization. I aided in the design and assembly of a blower test rig for data collection. This entailed conducting pull-off tests and recording data by trying different piping and gripper configurations in a simulated environment to find components that can be improved for greater efficiency. Most days were spent interfacing and coordinating with senior mechanical engineers to build, troubleshoot, verify, and validate engineering prototypes against specifications and test plans for an autonomous collection system.
