Sliding Mode Control for An Induction Motor

This is my undergraduate thesis project guided by Prof. Feng (based on China NSF 61074015). 1.Main target : Use a high-order sliding mode control strategy to control an induction motor servomechanism with a terminal sliding mode observer to see the parameters in real time and simulate to analyze its performance. 2.Controller: First, build the induction…

Small rescue robot

During my undergraduate time, I was making a startup with friends from our robotic club, and beside of the main projects we employed in the company, there were some other products we designed. One of my ideas is the small rescue robot. The idea come from the news that in 2013 there were many disasters…

Origami Snake Robot

To combine the flexibility of soft robotics and the portability and efficiency of traditional electrical actuation, I took part in designing and controlling this self-contained, lightweight, low cost and flexible origami robotic snake (OriSnake). Note: Origami is the Japanese art of creating structures and objects by folding paper. Taking inspiration from this technique, we can create…

3-D Soft Robotic Snake

Robots offer great promise in assisting search-and-rescue operations in extremely uncertain and cluttered environments after a variety of disasters. The simple structure of a snake robot has the capability to traverse complex, constrained, 3-D environments (small gaps, tough terrain). Snake robots have been developed using traditional robotic structures composed of rigid links and discrete joints, though capable of snake-like motion, suffer from a number…

Flight Tickets Reservation System

This is a project from WPI CS 509 Software Design. This system will have the ability to allow clients to search flights based on their requirements such as departure or arrival airport, departure or arrival time or perspective time windows within each. It will display appropriate flights based on the client’s requirements, showing nonstop flights…

Pet Image Recognition

This project is based on WPI RBE 549 Computer Vision. The aim is to create an algorithm to distinguish images of dogs from cats. During the project two classifiers are used, CNN (Tensorflow) and SVM (Scikit-learn). Dataset: Kaggle’s official competition dataset Asirra; In this project, our team also use several enhancement methods together with Support Vector…

Soldering using ABB IRB 120 Robotic Arm (SARA)

This project is based on WPI RBE 501 Robot Dynamics. The ABB IRB 120 will perform three automated functions to solder a multi-pin surface mount (e.g. SOIC-20) to a PCB Solder paste application to PCB IC placement on PCB Heat application to pins using hot air pencil Design and manufacture custom end effectors Refinement of…

Trajectory Tracking and Auto balancing for a Motorcycle

The project is based on WPI RBE 502 course ‘robot control’, the goal of this project is to realize the auto balance and trajectory tracking of an abstract bicycle. Given a trajectory of the pose (x, y, 𝜃) of the motorcycle, design a controller for inputs of the driving torque and steering angle to make…
