EE Sophomore Places Second in 2013 MathWorks Simulink Student Challenge
Published June 3, 2013 This content is archived.
Kristina Monakhova took second place in the 2013 MathWorks Simulink Student Challenge for her video, "Development of Arm Controller for Robotic Satellite Servicing."
The video portrays a cool application in robotics, which was inspired by a project she worked on during her summer internship at NASA Robotics Academy at the Marshal Space Flight Center.
The electrical engineering sophomore has had passion for robotics for as long as she can remember. “My summer internship at NASA allowed me to take my robotics passion to a whole new level and work on an important project that could be utilized in future space missions,” said Kristina.
The video shows how complex geometries can be imported and modeled in Simulink. Once imported, a controller was designed to manipulate an 11 DOF robotic arm from a joystick and “glove” controller.
