Projects

(2022) Project Self Driving Cart

(IN PROGRESS):
PROBLEM: Local Shopping centers and super markets hire young adults to push shpping carts back to store fronts after they are used by customers. This is a very tough job in south texas as temperatures can ruch above 100 degrees fahrenheit at certain times in the year.

SOLUTION: I've built a low cost remote control shopping cart which is powerful enough and easy enough to use to bring carts back to the front of stores. I am currently working on Automating the controls of the cart to automate the job.

(2022) Project Auto Animation

PROBLEM: Make an entire animated advertisement using only a text file. The client specifically wanted an animated female to give a more human feel to the consumer. No budget given.

SOLUTION: In order to make both animation and vocal recordings from just a piece of text, voice synthesis software was used to generate an audio file of a female voice from any given text file. The audio file of course was not perfect so REAPER, a digital audio workstation was used to engineer the audio. As for the animation, Iclone7 was used to develop lifelike animations corresponding with our audiophile for our character. For the first iteration, free 3D models were used to configure the animations and setting of the advertisement. In the current version, I made a custom character model and if requested by the client, I have generated real buildings into the 3D Environment using google earth Data(Not Shown).

(2021) Project Battle Bot

One of my favorite projects, this battle bot weighs ~100lbs and is capable of pushing over 225 lbs of dead weight. The build was for competitive use in the Mcallen Tech Wars competition. through Covid I managed to get from idea, to 3D design, to prototype, to final build, then finally victory. A video summary of the project was made to document the build process.

(2020) Project Robotics Club App

I built this App in highschool in Xcode using Swift. The app's purpose was to allow anyone wanting to know more about our Robotics club to have full descriptions of each member of the two teams withing our Robotics Club. I did all development of the app and i did it in order to market the club and increase it's popularity.
