Reinforcement Learning for Search and Grasp in Clutter

  • Engineering honours thesis project on the application of Reinforcement Learning to enable robotic manipulators to navigate and acquire target objects in cluttered and unstructured environments.
  • Applying deep Reinforcement Learning to point cloud data from an Intel RealSense depth camera mounted on a Franka Panda robotic arm within UQ Robotics Perception Planning and Leaning lab under the supervision of Prof. Jen-Jen Chung.
  • Presented this work on multiple occasions to senior staff and company representatives resulting in funding and further projects for the lab.

Tractor Pull

High Torque Electric Vehicle

  • Created a battery powered brushless motor vehicle weighing less than 10kg capable of pulling a 70kg sled up a slope.
  • Calculated and constructed an electrical drive system capable of outputting 100Nm at the wheels.
  • Utilized advanced manufacturing techniques to create precision parts from CNC, laser cutting, 3D printing and lathes.
