Integrated Cartesian robot
The full system combined motion hardware, connector targeting, and the broader automation flow around mating and verification.
Robotics + controls
Teradyne senior design project
This project focused on automating coaxial connector mating during test procedures with a Cartesian robot, tool-changing logic, and sensing-informed control.
What I contributed
I handled the programming side of the robot, including remote operation, automatic tool changing, load-cell-based closed-loop control, and a redesigned GUI for running automation workflows more clearly.
What came out of it
The project reached 0.01 mm travel precision and 0.5 g load standard deviation, and the work was associated with an IEEE publication.
Early redesign model
An early CAD-stage view of the redesign, used to work through the mechanical layout before integration.
Assembly and integration
Initial assembly with linear rails, anti-backlash hardware, and the base structure for the coupling setup.
Load-cell characterization
Bench testing around the cantilever load cell used for force-aware mating logic and closed-loop behavior.
Automation interface walkthrough
A narrated look at the GUI redesign and scheduling flow developed for more usable automation control.
Single automated mate
One example of the robot executing a connector mating sequence with verification on the system side.
