ROBOTICS / ROS 2 / KINEMATICS

3-Axis Gantry Robot

Parametric Cartesian robot model with staged trajectory generation.

A reusable 3-DOF Cartesian gantry workspace that converts a target point into a staged Y → X → Z → hold → retract trajectory and visualizes the robot in RViz.

AI / PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE

AI Gear Failure Prediction System

Multi-output XGBoost system for gear failure stress and crack depth.

A predictive-maintenance dashboard that estimates gear failure stress and crack depth from geometry, classifies a maintenance state and generates engineering recommendations.

MECHANICAL / AI / ANALYSIS

Gear Contact Mechanics ML

GearAnalyst Pro: ML prediction of contact stress and crack depth.

A refactored ML pipeline that cleans material-pair data, engineers an equivalent stiffness feature, benchmarks multiple model families and packages the analysis as an engineering dashboard.

BIO-MECHANICS / SIGNAL PROCESSING

Knee Joint Dynamics Extraction Pipeline

IMU-to-mechanics system identification for a spring-mass-damper knee model.

A reusable pipeline that converts 6-axis IMU leg-swing recordings into frequency, damping, stiffness, torque and ACL/PCL stiffness estimates using a second-order model.
