Robot Vision

This was a very interesting project. We developed it in Denmark. We needed to program an ABB robot and a DVT camera to identify some products and then choose which one to pick up and store.
We were 5 mexicans working in the camera and 5 Danes working in the robot. This video is when we tested the communication between both parts. It took us a while, the robot wasnt receiving any data and after 5-6 hours we found out there was a problem with the net cable. So we changed it and it worked!!

Cap Linning Machine

This is by far, the biggest project I've ever made. This was my final project in my career and it took me a little bit more than a year to complete it. I made it with aproximately 3,000 USD and it was all constructed by me. This machine gives around 35 linned caps per minute.
The hardest part of all was to test it. There are lots of variables to adjust and rebuild and redesign. You actually have to design it so it can last quite a few years and vibrations, weather conditions, quality in the cap and the linner can affect a lot in the well functioning of the machine. You have to build it so it can stand certain tolerances in all those matters.

Inverted Pendulum PI

This was a 4th semester project for Control class in which we made a Poportinal - integral control for a pendulum. This, we made it with Operational amplifiers (OPAMPs). The construction was very basic, we used a non-functional printer so we just adapted a potentiometer to the ink car and put a stick to it. The limitations were that the printer rail was to short so if the pendulum was very hard hitten it would not give enough chance to control the pendulum. Because of the limitations of the motor as well we coulnt increment the gains so the response was faster.
