Projects
AI 3D Printer Robot
Science Fair 2021-2022
This was my next project for science fair in my junior year. I converted a cheap 3D printer into a robotic arm that using a camera on the top of the printer and computer vision in Python could detect where the red pom pom balls were and move the end effector to the correct spot and pick them up with the grippers.

Motion Capture System
Research Intern IHMC 2024
Coded a system in java to take inputs from a motion capture device that used 8 blackfly cameras to track all parts of a human body and create a pose out of it. From the given pose I coded a way for the data to be converted into usable data for 3 different robots at IHMC. The first being the Psyonic Ability Hands which followed the hand positions of the user. The next one was Franka Arms which with the help from another intern was able to take data from the hand position and tell the franka arms where to go. Finally with the help from a senior researcher created a way for the pose data to control IHMC's full blown humanoid Nadia.
VR Controls
Research Intern IHMC 2023
During my first summer with IHMC I worked on different controls for their Virtual Reality System. The first control I helped with was controlling the bounding box around a stationary image of a blackfly projection. This would allow users to move the camera where they wanted in case the other sensors would not show them enough detail to control the robot from. The next system I set up was controlling the arms and hands using a radial menu that would appear when the controller was touching the hands. This was helpful so that a user if trying to go through a door would not need to exit VR move the arms to the door avoidance position and then walk through and then go back into VR. The rest of the controls I worked on were to help with moving the robot around in VR.
Customizable Game
Wordle Type Game FBLA 2023
Using Python and Pygame I designed a new version of Wordle. This game would be multiple levels where each time you got a word correct the length of the word would increase until the word length was 12. This was submitted for The Future Business Leaders of America Computer Game & Simulation Programming Competition in 2023. I placed second in regionals with it.

Blob Town Game
2D Video Game FBLA 2022
Using Python Pygame and open source files for graphics I created a platformer game. Also created along with this game was a level editor for users to create their own levels. This was submitted for the Future Business Leaders of America Computer Game & Simulation Programming Competition in 2022. I placed first in regionals with it.

Movie Graph Visualizer
Data Structures & Algorithms Final Project
For the final project for DSA at UF I had to work with a group of 3 students to design a project that used two different data structures or algorithms. Our project was made to analyze Breadth-First Search and Dijkstra algorithm using a dataset with 45,000 movies and actors. We designed a website using HTML and JavaScript to show off the project. The website had a way to visualize all connections from one movie, or use BFS or Dijkstra to find a connection between two movies.
