Upgraded functional test software to meet new test and calibration requirements for DaVinci SP joint modules. Made a number of architectural improvements to the shared function testing library.
Completed production ready proof-of-concept integrating linear actuator and force sensor to measure manipulator backdrive friction.
Developed automation suite for cyclical loading of drive belt to validate assembly performance and screen for premature failure on tension test stand. Wrote interface library for test stand serial communication.
Led team of 3 to develop test fixture for DaVinci Xi Flex joint to replace manual processes to burnish and test brake friction, measure bearing friction in loaded state, confirm encoder range of motion.
Redesigned mechanical assembly of slotless motor stator tester for more precise mechanical alignment improve ease of assembly and servicing, and reduce GR&R and tester to tester measurement variance.
Took NPI tester prototype and ironed out issues with brake installation and alignment. Prepared design and documentation to implement tester at supplier facility. Wrote test software and GUI in Matlab
