I am currently in the middle of third year as an undergraduate student at Oregon State University, majoring in Electrical and Computer Engineering. I expect to graduate from Oregon State in June 2021 with a BS. I am aiming to gain experience and a greater understanding of what it means to work as engineer, problem solving and going in depth into coding and IC analysis. Currently I am taking a Junior Design course in which students learn to create solutions given a set of problems. My team and I designed a SCARA robot arm which takes in G Code as a means of controlling the motion of the arm in order to draw a straight line and sort coins into their respective slots. I was in charge of writing the code for the SCARA’s motion and GUI using python script and arduino ide.
My team built and programmed a SCARA 2-link robot arm with the functionality of being able to draw a 10 inch straight line within 2.5 seconds along with a coin sorting algorithm using computer vision. The SCARA was controlled b...
