Screw Tightening Bot

Vision-guided Cartesian gantry for automated screw-driving in simulation.

A 3-DOF Cartesian gantry workcell designed around a detect → target → move → drive → retract automation loop. Vision detections are bridged over TCP into ROS 2 and consumed by a motion state machine.

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.

PERCEPTION / COMPUTER VISION

Gear Defect Detector

YOLOv8 detection, tracking and HSV component-vision pipeline.

A computer-vision pipeline assembled around a two-class gear dataset, YOLOv8n training, multi-object tracking and an HSV screw/component detector intended to feed the Screw Tightening Bot.

Transformer Assembly AR Training Tool

Image-classification-assisted augmented reality training for transformer assembly.

An AR-guided assembly trainer combining SolidWorks parts, a lightweight image classifier and Unity/Vuforia overlays. It was developed as Case Study 2 for the manufacturing research manuscript.
