VINUM Project

A robotic platform for grapevine winter pruning automation

I contributed to the mechanical integration of the VINUM robotic platform for grapevine winter pruning automation. My work focused on designing and developing robust mounting structures for integrating the robotic arm and electrical components onto a commercial mobile robot platform, as well as supporting on-site system integration and demonstration activities.

Role/Contribution:

  • Designed mounting structures for integrating robotic and electrical components

  • Supported mechanical integration of the VINUM system on a commercial mobile robot

  • Contributed to on-site setup and technical demonstration activities

VERO Project

A vacuum-cleaner-equipped quadruped robot for litter removal in hard-to-reach environments

I contributed to the deployment of VERO (not the design), a vacuum-cleaner-equipped quadruped robot for litter removal in hard-to-reach environments. My role focused on mechanical improvements, assembly and disassembly, maintenance, and technical preparation for demonstrations and field activities.

Supported the mechanical development of VERO through system improvements, assembly, maintenance, and demo preparation.

Role/Contribution:

  • Contributed to the mechanical improvements of the platform

  • Responsible for assembly, disassembly, and maintenance activities

  • Supported demo preparation and system readiness for field use
