Past Projects
- Analysis of contact forces in the walking gait of a quadruped robot . We used Python and Pybullet to implement dynamic control equations and simulate the SOLO12 robot, respectively.
- Kinematic and Dynamic Analysis of a quadruped robot . In this project we conducted an extensive literature review for quadruped robots. Also, we used Python and Rviz to implement kinematic control equations and visualize the SOLO12 robot, respectively; and MATLAB to generate trajectories using ZMP and dynamic equations.
- Tic-Tac-Toe using Reinforcement Learning . This project was developed as part of an Advanced Robotics course. We used Python to implement Reinforcement Learning techniques.
- Classification Analysis for a Hazardous Asteroid dataset . This project was developed as part of a Data Mining and Machine Learning course. We used Python and scikit-learn to create and train models.
- Fuzzy Logic Control for a mobile robot , PID and Fuzzy Logic comparison for orientation control and Neural Networks for Pattern Recognition and Multiclass Clasification . These projects were developed as part of an introductory course to Intelligent Systems, from San Francisco de Quito University. We mainly used MATLAB and Simulink for simulation.
- Autonomous Navigation of a mobile robot . This project was developed as part of a Autonomous Robotics course. We used Gazebo as a simulator, Rviz as visualizer, ROS for node communication, Python for implement kinematics, control and object detection (YOLO).
- Design and Simulation of a pseudo-hand for playing piano with the UR5 robot . This project was developed as part of an Interdisciplinary Project. We used Inventor for mechanical design, Gazebo as a simulator, ROS for node communication, Python for programming of nodes.
- Direct, Inverse and Control Kinematics of a serial robot .This project was developed as part of the Foundations of Robotics course. We used Gazebo as a dynamic simulator, Rviz as a visualizer, ROS for node communication and Python for programming.
- Analysis of EEG signals using their Spectral Powers characteristics . This project was developed as part of the Signals and Systems Analysis course. We used MATLAB for signal processing and statistical tools for analysis.
- Sensor system module for animal tracking . This project was presented as an oral and poster presentation at UTEC Demo Mode 2019, a science and technology fair organized by UTEC, where we won 1st place in oral presentation and 2nd place in poster presentation. We used Eagle for electrical design, Inventor for mechanical design, Python for data analysis and 3D printing for prototyping.
- Characterization of a light sensor for implementation and development of Physics experiments in high school and university . This project was presented as a poster presentation in the XXVI Peruvian Physics Symposium (2017) developed by the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos (UNMSM).
- Electromagnetic waves and sugar: Study and applications of polarization . This project was presented as an oral presentation in the XXV Peruvian Physics Symposium (2016) developed in the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (PUCP).
