I am currently studying electrical and computer engineering in college, and I have had a huge passion for robotics my whole life. I spent my high school career learning about and building robots with a FIRST team, and before that I loved to play with Lego’s and taking things apart to learn how they worked. One of my future goals is to work with robots as a career, building advanced prosthetic limbs, self-driving cars, or rovers that explore other planets! This robot would be a great jump start to my lofty goals.

I have a lot of ideas on what I could do with this robot. One thing that I am especially interested in is autonomous navigation using different sensors and cameras. I would add an IMU and possibly on onboard computer to do video processing to explore more navigation techniques. The autonomous navigation could be for carrying light loads around campus, or navigating around my apartment. Another idea is to use it to start a team and share the robot with a group. Either way this robot would be a great platform to expand my knowledge and further my education. It would be the perfect tool to apply what I have learned in the classroom.

Thank you for your consideration,

Henry
