Projects

Robotics, reinforcement learning, humanoid control, and hands-on mechanical design — from simulation to hardware.

Robotics & Reinforcement Learning

So-Arm Training using RL (PPO) in Isaac Lab

Trained a So-Arm robotic manipulator using Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) in NVIDIA Isaac Lab. The agent progresses from random movements to precise, coordinated grasping.

Isaac Lab PPO Manipulation

Stage 1: Initial (untrained)

Stage 2: Mid-training

Stage 3: Fully trained

Loco-manipulation using RL & AMO Controller in MuJoCo

Combined locomotion and manipulation on a quadruped robot using RL with a pretrained AMO controller. The robot walks to objects and manipulates them — demonstrated with a screwdriver pick-and-place task.

Whole Body Control & Bipedal Walking

End-to-end humanoid locomotion system combining Whole Body Control, DCM-based trajectory planning, and multi-directional gait generation. WBC is formulated as a QP minimizing joint accelerations and reaction forces subject to full-body dynamics constraints, providing real-time torque commands for balancing. The DCM planner decomposes CoM dynamics into stable/unstable components for footstep trajectory generation with ZMP constraints. Together they enable forward, backward, and lateral walking with Lyapunov-guaranteed stability.

Stripper Plates — MS/X

Identified a recurring punch retraction issue causing quality defects. Designed 4 new stripper plates in SolidWorks, 3D-printed prototypes for rapid iteration, and validated compatibility with the rocker punch machine. Mitigated 95% of quality issues and improved production consistency.

Frunk Clip Covers — M3

Addressed frequent scratching and warping of M3 Frunk Clips during transportation to General Assembly. Designed custom protective clip covers in SolidWorks, 3D-printed prototypes, and iterated on durability. Achieved a 97% reduction in clip damage and significantly reduced scrap.

PA Sensor Installation Tool — MS/X

Engineered a spring-loaded installation tool for Parking Assist sensors to eliminate Not-Seated-Properly (NSP) defects. Designed in SolidWorks, validated through multiple prototypes, and refined with production teams for ergonomic use. Delivered proof of concept with full documentation for continued development.
