Developing control stack for a robotic arm

While working as a research assistant at the Robotics Systems Lab at ETH Zurich, I worked on their in-house robotic arm called the DynaArm. The DynaArm is now in the market as a fully-fledged product from Duatic. 

My significant responsibilities in the project were

• Developing a plug-and-play interface for using different controllers on the robot

• Building the different controllers in question, ranging from Inverse Kinematics to Model Predictive controllers. 

Apart from the above, I helped with bug fixes and prepped the robot for demonstrations. My experience working on the project gave me a good sense of the time management skills required to maintain steady progress while collaborating with a team.
