Development and Control of a Magnetic Series Elastic Actuator (Mag-SEA)

Advanced Intelligent Mechatronics Research Laboratory (AIMRL) - Georgia Tech

• Supervisor: Dr. Kok-Meng Lee
• Prototyped and optimized the Mag-SEA; designed a mechanical SEA for comparative analysis.
• Simulated system stability and performance; developing an embedded control system for real-time impedance control using wireless data transfer.

Design and Control of Pneumatic Variable-Stiffness Joints for Underactuated Gripper

Adaptive Robotic Manipulation (ARM) Laboratory - Georgia Tech

• Supervisor: Dr. Frank Hammond
• Prototyped and refined an underactuated gripper with pneumatic variable-stiffness joints, achieving a 20% increase in workspace and enhanced capabilities.
• Developed mathematical models linking joint stiffness, tendon tension, and end-point position. Engineered embedded controller for pneumatic actuation, optimizing tendon tension and stiffness for adaptive control.

Design and Evaluation of Control Systems for Inverted Pendulum

• Applied a range of control methods—classical (PID, Bang-Bang), modern (Pole-Placement, Sliding Mode, Computed Torque), and optimal (LQR, MPC)—to the inverted pendulum system.
• Designed and simulated nonlinear system dynamics using MATLAB/Simulink and Simscape to compare controller performance and assess robustness against disturbances and parameter uncertainties.
