Ball Bot Project

Alongside 2 electrical engineering undergraduate students at UCLA, we acquired funding for the ball bot robot idea we found interesting. Through this project, I gained exposure to controls and system modeling as well as honing my design abilities as a mechanical engineer. I was fully responsible for the mechanical design of the robot chassis as well as calculating motor torque requirements. I also contributed to modeling our complex inverted pendulum system to be able to implement our LQR controller. This project took us only 3 months to complete.
