Robotic-arm
Applications

Virtual Reality (VR)
Robotic arms require precise design to accomplish tasks, so it was a perfect scenario to train its performance. I developed the strategy to move the joints of the robotic arm accurately. Also, detecting the movement of the controller was critically important in this project to enable the user to utilize the technique of VR to execute commands.

Augmented Reality (AR)
Using the Vuforia SDK, I could generate a virtual robotic arm via through scanning a designed mark. By adopting the method of socket and thread, the movement of the image in the app could deliver commands from the user to the robot arm in the laboratory. I was deeply fascinated by this experience and learnt how AR/VR could help people interact between the virtual and real world.

Two-wheeled
balancing car

The aim was to balance the car and have it reach the ending point along the assigned route. Optimized PID control was used to stabilize the two-wheeled car, which was unstable. To reduce overshooting and the settling time, I tried nearly 100 times to adjust three correlative variables. Therefore, with Arduino components and Raspberry Pi, I completed the design, and the two-wheeled car performed better after I added the functions of image processing and distance detection.
