Project Birdhouse
Project Birdhouse was a summer internship where I worked with PhD robotics candidates from Carnegie Mellon and UPenn to autonomously assemble birdhouses using a humanoid robot. I was tasked with designing tooling that allows the robot to assemble birdhouses, as well as designing a modular birdhouse kit that allows users to configure an infinite number of different birdhouses from a 10 piece set.

The gripping system used for assembly
Servo operated turntable used as the building platform
AR markers are barcodes for each piece of the kit
Early prototyping for the nailgun
