Project showcase
Three robotics projects, documented as engineering evidence.
The home page now surfaces each active build: a dexterous hand, a Puma-class mobile platform, and a compact quadruped testbed.
Project 01
Robot Hand
A biomimetic robotic hand platform focused on human-like dexterity, tendon-driven actuation, and reactive real-time control. Using custom mechanical systems, ESP32-based embedded electronics, and computer vision hand tracking, the system is being developed to read, interpret, and live-mimic human hand movements with realistic robotic motion and manipulation.

Phase 02
SensingForce feedback instrumentation
Load cell layout and sensor capture plan for comparing commanded grip profiles against measured contact force.
Phase 03
HardwareActuator packaging study
Servo bay layout, cable strain relief, and thermal spacing study for a compact forearm-mounted drive module.
