Below is a collection of my past robot projects that I was involved with while attending school at the University of Utah between 1995 and 1999.  I was in school for the BS and MS degrees in mechanical engineering.  Click on the image for more info.

• Robotic Insect Project (1999)  The robotic spider project was another mechanical engineering senior design project that I helped out.  The group members are Donna L. Nelson, Scott Snider, Kim Jones, Ben Kempe, John McCullough, Jared Jennings, and Michael McMickell.  The goal of the project was to create a six-legged robotic insect platform that can be used by computer science department for teaching purposes.  I helped out with the electronic, sensor, and software design.  See the Robotic Insect page for more details.
• Communication Robot Project (1999)  Paul Brown, David Heap, and Dan Peterson are the team members of this senior design project.  Their goal was to develop small robots with the ability to communicate for the purpose of collectively performing a task.  My involvement included helping with mechanical, electronical, and sofware design.  See the Communication Robot page.
• Mobius (1998-99)  A mobile teaching robot used for the Mechatronics course at the University of Utah in 1999.
• The Mech-Bots (1999)  A group of demonstration robots for the mechatronics class that I was a TA at the University of Utah, where I did my MS studies between 1997-1999.
• Project Minibot (1997-98)  The minibots were built for a microcontroller design class.

• Wedgie (1997-1999)  Wedgie was a teaching robot for the mechatronics class that I helped TAed during my MS studies.

• Sub-Mini (1997) The smallest robot that I've ever built (2"x2") and powered by Basic Stamp II microcontroller.

• Commando (1998)  An autonomous tank robot built for fun.

• "B"-Bots (1999)  A family of robots.  They were named the B-Bots because each of their first names started with the letter "B".

• Tank (1995-96)   Tank was the first robot I ever built.  Tank was built for a mechatronics autonomous tennis ball shooting contest.  Tank was controlled through a PC using National Instrument's CVI LabWindows data acquisition software.  Tank took first place!  I've had tons of emails asking for information about Tank, but unfortunately, I don't have any documentation, except my description of it on the Tank page (click image below to go to the Tank Page).
