  • Designed, programmed, manufactured, and assembled a robot that can balance itself for 30 seconds on a carpet floor.
  • Fused data from accelerometer and gyroscope to determine robot tilt.
  • Researched methods to filter data more accurately, including moving average and exponential smoothing, complementary filters and Kalman filters.
