Other Interests
- Making a life size robot using 3D printed hardware
The intent of this project is to 3d print and assemble an open source life size robot using cables, servo motors, arduinos and cameras mounted on a wheeled mobile base. In addition, occulous rift and xbox kinect provide environmental awareness and head gesture detection. It will be able to perceive sound, see, speak and move independently.
- Home Renovation
I am passionate about home renovation as it gives a sense of accomplishment. In roughly 12 weeks this kitchen was renovated. It included design, layout, demolition, drywall, plumbing, electrical, flooring, cabinetry, countertop, backsplash, appliance installation and painting. Feel free to contact me for tips & tricks.
