PROJECTS
Autonomous Underwater Vehicle
Designed an autonomous robot with 4 other students to swim and follow a magnetic target underwater
I designed the electric schematic, buoyancy control system, power system, and soldered the electrical components onto a PCB
The robot can stay powered for roughly 30 minutes per charge.
