EPICS: Rovers for Aero & Astro Education / Hippotherapy Assistive Technology

Led embedded systems development for assistive robotics serving children with special needs, delivering servo-controlled prototypes demonstrated to 500+ attendees at Purdue Space Day.

Key Highlights

  • Served as Project Partner Liaison, translating client therapy goals into engineering deliverables
  • Developed servo-controlled assistive robotics with embedded C and sensor-actuator interfacing
  • Ensured reliability and safety with fail-safe control logic for vulnerable user population
  • Presented functional prototypes to 500+ attendees at Purdue Space Day
Served as primary technical liaison between Purdue engineering team and community therapy organization, translating therapeutic requirements into engineering specifications. Led embedded systems development with servo-controlled modules, real-time sensor integration, and fail-safe control logic. Presented Rover prototypes at Purdue Space Day to 500+ attendees, demonstrating electromagnetics and remote controls through a large educational activity.
