Coin Picking Robot
This project is from the 2nd-year design studio course at UBC for electrical engineering students. The goal was to create both the hardware and software for a remote-controlled robot that can detect metals using an inductor and oscillator circuit, drive motors with H-bridge circuits, and implement communication between two microcontrollers (STM32 and EFM8). For extra functionality, I helped design a 1-axis mechanism with an electromagnet that could be remotely controlled to collect small metal objects such as coins.
