Projects
Northrop Grumman Collaboration Project
Lead a team of Mechanical Engineers in designing a drone that simulated the rescue of an individual (a doll served as the "person" being rescued). Designed moving mechanical components as well as the interface between servo motors and the drone's drop crate through SolidWorks. Programmed an Arduino Microcontroller to run all the functionality of the drone.
PLA Bracket
Design Bracket.pdfTasked to design a bracket made of PLA that can carry a miniminum load of 100 lbf wihtout elastic deformation; and have a 1000 lbf/in minimum effective thickness. Conducted tensile and flexural tests and FEA simulations. Designed component had a max load to failure of 815 lbf.
Walking Robot Project
Used Linkage Synthesis to design a mechansm meant to simulate a four-limb creature. See full report below for detailed analysis and results completed.
TermProject_EduardoGutierrez.pdfOne-Handed Bicycle
One-Handed Bicycle.pdfProject focused on creating a product that can help individuals with a missing arm be able to shift gears and brake on a bicycle without having to move current hand positioning.
Prosthetic Arm
This is an iteration of the hand model that was created in SolidWorks and then 3D printed to allow the user to grasp objects. More details described in resume. The brace below is the connecting mechanism between the individuals arm and the prosthetic hand.
CNC / Lathe
Used a CNC mill, as well as a lathe to create the two components shown.
