Robotics · Senior capstone

Trash vs. Recycling Robot

Developed a CasADi-based model predictive controller for mobile robot navigation with obstacle-avoidance constraints and finite-horizon velocity optimization. The broader three-person system approached seated users, collected deposited items, and routed trash and recycling into separate onboard bins.

ScamPilot

Designed an LLM-agent system that simulates adaptive scam conversations for interactive safety training. I developed the controlled prompting and experimental pipeline, led the user study, and implemented the statistical analysis of scam recognition, response efficacy, and self-efficacy.
