Work Experience

Manufacturing Controls Dev Engineer

Jun 2021 - Jul 2021
2 mos
 Robotic Assembly Line Commissioning  • Performed safety checks on Kuka and Fanuc robots for automobile assembly lines.  • Reduced redundancy within the commissioning process internationally by automating the commission process for Kuka robots. Spot welding • Assisted the PLC team by creating a custom code in Kuka Workvisual to communicate with the spot welding controller.  (Note: Left the company due to visa issue.)

Robotics Application Engineer

Jul 2020 - Feb 2021
8 mos
Research and Development • Develop a vision-based robot deburring system using the Keyence camera and UR5 robot. • Design and prototype a soft gripper for universal object picking tasks. Industrial Robot Cell Integration • Integrate Fanuc robots to CNC machines for material handling. • The integration includes I/O mapping, sensor integration, and HMI design. • Simulate automation sequence and robot path using Roboguide and RoboDK. • Deliver robust programs for controlling robot trajectory and peripheral signal handling. • Compile thorough documentation for operation, and maintenance.

Software Research Assistant

Jun 2019 - May 2020
1 yr 0 mos
ARM X Boeing: Simulator for Robot Composite Layup • Created a data collecting system using Ensenso N10 stereo camera, OpenCV, and Point Cloud library to capture composite sheet deformation data. • Built a simulator to simulate composite sheet behavior using OpenGL and a physic library, VegaFEM. • Designed a machine learning infrastructure for training the simulator to automate the layup process using robotic manipulators. • Published a paper regarding the simulator in the Journal of Manufacturing Science and Engineering as the first author. Yaskawa: CAD Based Robot Programming Interface • Partnered with Yaskawa to develop a user-friendly robot programming interface for users without prior knowledge of robots. •Realized CAD-to-Path programming with ROS to make the robot follow complex paths with the freedom of changing tools and contact angles.
