I am a second-year M.S. student in Robotics at the University of Michigan. My interests include mechanical design, robotic mechanisms, and manufacturing.
My current work focuses on the mechanical design and fabrication of a capstan transmission for the MeshBot wire-bending tool.
The transmission in the meshbot is designed to transfer torque reliably from the motor to the bending mechanism, support laboratory fabrication using 3D printing or laser cutting, and comply with BIRDS Lab design guidelines. During my work, I will contribute to the design, prototyping, manufacturing, and evaluation of the capstan transmission for the wire-bending tool.
