Eric Rogers 10175 Sunnyside Ln – Colorado Springs, CO 80908 - (480) 720-4595 – [email protected] Summary Skilled in and passionate about investigating, developing, evolving, and implementing designs for robotic systems from prototype to production. Experienced working in teams to analyze nonconforming operations and quickly execute design changes in tightly constrained timelines in both academic and corporate environments. Education BSE, Robotics Engineering Arizona State University, Mesa
May 2017 GPA: 3.82 / 4.0
Technical Skills ● Proficient in C++, C, Python, Perl, Java, Linux, Windows, Labview, SolidWorks, Matlab, PLC, TCP/IP, Perforce, Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, and familiar with NI Multisim, PSpice, and Cadence. ● Soldering tools, oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, basic shop tools, 3D printers, PCB design and fabrication. ● Practiced in using Jacobian and Homogenous Transformation Matrices as well as computer vision and decision making algorithms. Work Experience Engineering Intern, Moog Broad Reach, Tempe, Arizona August 2015 - April 2017 ● Developed Perl test scripts and executed test plans for flight hardware systems and spacecraft software requirements on an aggressive schedule. ● Ran and debugged test scripts for motor controllers designed for a robotic arm intended for space. ● Collaborated with a team of software engineers to troubleshoot and debug the software to be sent to the customer. Provided weekly status updates about the progress and setbacks of the current requirements being tested. Undergraduate Researcher, Laminate Robotics Laboratory, Arizona State University, Mesa January 2017 - April 2017 ● Created software simulations to optimize leg design and motion transfer efficiency. ● Refined and simplified mechanical structure of quadrupedal foldable laminate robot. ● Tested materials for optimum constant-radius bending of force sensor “feet” used in load distribution measuring. Applied Projects - Arizona State University, Mesa Automation Demonstration Cell Capstone Project - Fall 2016 to Spring 2017 Software lead of an interdisciplinary team which engineered an automated pick and place cell, using algorithms for object placement location, from requirements definition to high level system analysis and successful demonstration to the customer. ● Programmed CompactLogix PLC to use distributed Ethernet components including a remote I/O node, Ethernet controlled stepper motors, and FANUC M10-iA robot with R30-iA controller using RS Studio. ● Programmed FANUC robot to utilize iRVision machine vision and internal I/O to carry out its required tasks. ● Programmed the HMI using FactoryTalk View ME. ● Aided in CNC manufacturing of specialized components. Foldable Laminate Robotics Research Project - Fall 2016 ● Designed and built a four-legged laminate foldable robot for sensing and dynamics research purposes. ● Utilized Python with Numpy, Shapely, and MatPlotLib to create files for cutting laminate layers on a laser cutter and modeling motion and bending mechanics. ● Designed and developed Arduino microcontroller program for robot walking motion. ● Designed and 3D-printed custom parts for mounting and transfer of motion using Solidworks. Automatic Pool pH Balancer - Spring 2016 ● Designed and manufactured an automatic pool pH balancing device utilizing eCAD software to create a custom PCB with surface mount components. ● Embedded C code in a bare microcontroller to utilize a sensor, stepper motor, and UART with a separate wifi module. Relevant Coursework ● Robotics Systems, Transforms and Systems Modeling ● Computational Modeling of Engineering Systems ● Analog-Digital Interface, Design of Electrical Systems
