Ph.D. Thesis Nov, 2017 - Nov, 2020:

Motion Generation and Planning System for a Virtual Reality Motion Simulator: Development, Integration, and Analysis

The main objective of the thesis is to develop a motion generation and planning system for a virtual reality-based motion simulator. The simulator is constituted by a bespoke hybrid parallel robotic manipulator with an RSS configuration. The primary contribution is the algorithmic design, implementation, and analysis of a various motion cueing algorithm (MCA) for effectively generating motion and visual signals that enhance the user's immersion in the simulator. Additional contributions are related to experimental and user evaluations of the system, motion compensation, and a system for motion tuning of MCA parameters. The thesis was funded by Singular perception s.r.l.

Masters Thesis Jan, 2017-Aug, 2017

Generation of motion of a motion simulator for virtual reality experiences from real (measured) linear and rotational accelerations

The classical motion cueing algorithm for the motion simulator was developed as part of my master thesis. Matlab and Simulink were used to develop and test the initial implementation. The final implementation was accomplished in C++ on a custom microcontroller.

1st year Master Project (2016):

Determination of Interference Free Orientation Workspace for Cable Driven Parallel Robots

In this work, an algorithm was developed in Matlab for determining the feasible orientation workspace in all axis for any cable driven parallel robot (CDPR)

Final Year Bachelor Project (2013-2014):

Design and Fabrication of Pomegranate Aril (pulp) Extractor.

The scope of the project was to design a system that can extract the arils (seeds) from the pomegranate fruit. The main focus was given to making the product commercially viable.
