Hi, I'm Cole, a senior at Northwestern University pursuing a combined BS/MS degree in Mechanical Engineering. I'm interested in robotics and embedded systems.
Electronic CVT System
Designed and built an electronic continuously variable transmission (eCVT) for a Baja SAE off-road vehicle, implementing position sensing, motor control, and PID-based actuation.
E-skin Research
Developed firmware for a robotic electronic skin sensor system using PIC32 microcontrollers and MPLAB Harmony framework for tactile sensing applications in robotics research.
QuackTrack Robot
Designed and prototyped a robotic duck toy to detect and follow a person useing websockets to send an image to a server for processing with real-time motor control via a PID loop with an IMU, to achive smooth and responsive motion.
Injection Molding Project - Axolotl Boat
Designed and manufactured a multi-part injection molded toy featuring an axolotl riding a boat, created for ME 340-2 manufacturing processes course.
