Summary of Nao

A photo I took for the Graduation book (2014)

While I was with Team Nanyang (Robocup) I got exposed to Ubuntu and Python, learnt how to use Terminal to run scripts and transfer files and also learnt how to use Choregraphe, a software made for the Nao Robot. While the team disassembled before we could work on the soccer aspect, we did put together a dance for EEE night.

Durian Kong

Last semester I had a semester long project with 7 other randomly selected students. After much brainstorming we settled on an idea of Durian Opener.

My part in the project included using SolidWorks to come up with some parts of the device, lasing with the technicians as well as coming up with the poster. Initially the poster was supposed to be done by another group member but because she got into an accident I took over with 2 days left to the deadline. I'm quite proud of the posters as I had no prior knowledge of Photoshop and got it done in two days by using resources such as YouTube.

The device could not be manufactured in school due to it's complexity so we outsourced the manufacturing portion to China.

Here are some photos of the complete device and the poster as well.

Fruit of our labor!

Before the test

Successful test!

 



The two posters and the product are currently on display in the engineering library at NTU!

Tachometer Trouble

Someone passed me a Tachometer to test. So I got a code from the web and modified it to suit my needs. Then I wanted to test it but could not as the infrared sensors were not workings. I would go to the lab tomorrow and use the multimeter to find out where the problem lies. 

I really wish to learn how to build the tachometer myself. I should also buy a screwdriver. Had to improvise by using cutting out a small piece of a can.
