Mechatronics Capstone Project
Every Mechanical Engineering school is required to have their students complete physical group capstone design projects.
My senior year I chose to specialize within Mechanical Engineering and focused on Mechatronics, which is control systems and robotics.
My capstone project is a "Cable Robot", much like a SkyCam. It has an end-effector which is moved around by cables that are controlled by several motors. My team members were Adam Williams, Justin VonFeldt, Robert Graham, and Claire Nguyen. It was great working on a project with such an enthusiastic and capable team members.
Below I have included a YouTube video of our final working prototype. Further down on the page you can see some photos of our preliminary CAD models and our final assembly.
