MITACS Globalink Research Intern

Continuum Robotics Laboratory, University of Toronto

Fabricated a portable Tendon Driven Continuum Robot (TDCR), as part of the OpenCR Project. Created custom BLDC actuators and optimised tendon routes using Fusion 360 and TI Launchpad. Built a fully-actuated segment TDCR-based manual endoscope using tension-based and mechanical logic elements to create reliable control by eliminating digital latency.
