Hello! My name is Michelle, a fourth-year Electrical Computer Engineering student at Cornell. I am interested in assistive robotics, microcontroller gadgets, and clean energy technology.
Labs
Lab 1: The Artemis Board and Bluetooth
1/21/2026
Setting up the Arduino IDE, testing the Artemis board peripherals, and establishing Bluetooth Low Energy communication.
Lab 2: IMU
2/3/2026
Reading data from IMU, get roll, pitch, yaw angle values from low passed filtered accelerometer, complementary filter of accel and gyro reading.
Lab 3: ToF
2/10/2026
Equip robot with 2 ToF, in varying ranging distance, sampled to find difference between measured and expected ToF distance.
Lab 4: Motors and Open Loop Control
2/24/2026
Wiring dual motor drivers with parallel-coupled channels, testing PWM control, assembling the robot, and demonstrating open-loop control sequences.
Lab 5: Linear PID Control
3/3/2026
Implementing P control to drive the robot toward a wall and stop exactly 1ft (304mm) away, using ToF sensor feedback and deadband-compensated motor control.
Lab 6: Orientation Control
3/10/2026
Implementing P orientation control using gyroscope integration. Robot holds a target yaw angle and corrects via differential drive when disturbed.
