Under actuated 3-finger hand
A novel design for an under actuated 3-finger hand. The digits provide uniform force distribution along a grasped object's surface. Fingers can be configured in multiple orientations. Professor Salisbury and I presented this design at the Amazon Robotics symposium in October 2019.

Electrically-actuated smart brake modules (patent pending [20190360538])
By selectively toggling the two wrapped-spring clutches independently the brake module may achieve four braking configurations (bi-directionally braked, uni-directionally braked in either direction, or free-running). Built for applications in robotics as part of TRI-funded research in wearable robotic arms.
