Mechatronics & Robotics Engineer·Embedded Systems·Mechanical Design·Robot Control

I design and build robotic systems from mechanical concept to working prototype.

I am a Mechatronics and Robotics Engineer focused on developing complete robotic and embedded systems. My work combines CAD, prototyping, electronics, firmware, CAN motor control, sensing, computer vision, and web-based control. I enjoy taking projects from an initial concept through integration, testing, and a working physical prototype.

Projects

Four systems taken from concept through mechanical design, electronics, firmware and real-world testing.

AXYS 3-DOF robotic arm mounted on the Unitree Go2 quadruped

P-01

AXYS — Robotic Arm for Unitree Go2

A wirelessly teleoperated 3-DOF robotic arm designed and integrated as a functional extension of the Unitree Go2 quadruped. I developed the mechanical structure, electrical architecture, embedded control, CAN motor communication, sensing, computer-vision targeting, and the browser-based control interface — enabling the robot to press buttons, operate switches, and manipulate targets in its environment.

Three DM-J4340 motors over CAN, an ESP32-CAM for video and target selection, ultrasonic distance feedback, and force sensing to confirm contact. The interface adds manual joint control, motor enabling, standby/collapse motions, safety locking, zero calibration, and an automated pressing workflow.

Horse using the motorized treat feeder in a real stable

P-02

Automated Horse Training & Feeding System

A closed-loop embedded training system that detects a horse's defecation posture using an IMU-based tail sensor and wirelessly activates a motorized treat feeder. It logs the event time, horse identity, and GPS position while providing live monitoring and manual control through a web dashboard. Assembled and validated in real farm conditions.

The ESP32 tail unit detects the target posture, uses re-arm logic to avoid false triggers, and sends an RF command to the feeder. Each event is stored with timestamp, GPS coordinates, and horse identity — creating a structured dataset for future adaptive control.

Adaptive Three-Finger Robotic Gripper

A fully parametric, FDM-manufacturable gripper with three independently driven articulated fingers. Each finger has two phalanges and a dedicated spur-gear mechanism, allowing both power grasps and precision pinch grips on differently shaped objects. Designed in SolidWorks and validated for loads up to 3 kg.

Fingers are placed symmetrically at 120° intervals with modular, replaceable construction, letting the gripper conform to irregular objects.

P-04

Autonomous Navigation for Unitree Go2

An autonomous navigation prototype for the Unitree Go2 integrating route planning, obstacle detection, and emergency-stop logic into a deployable robotic system. I also designed the mounting structure, electronics housing, brackets, and wiring arrangement for clean integration on the robot platform.

Completed during my working-student position at TH Deggendorf (Oct 2025 – Jan 2026).
