The HUMRS (Hardened Underwater Modular Robot Snake) project was rapidly brought from concept to working prototype in under 6 months. This robot utilized open source ESCs and HEBI Actuators to speed up the design process. I designed the interface electronics that stiched everything together.

Main Features:

• Soft Start Controller for smooth capacitor charging
• Reverse voltage protection
• Auxillary DC/DC for powering cameras
• Modular connector interface to allow quick swap from copper to fiber Ethernet

Testbed

Control Case

I also built a splash-proof control case that integrates a power supply, computer, monitor, and other support circuitry.
