Day 17: Brayton CycleWhile prepping for my interviews for a job opportunity, I have been going through some things that are not really related to my project. Now, I had a look at gas turbines. Let’s talk about the four parts in a Brayton cycle, the continuous cycle in wh...Aug 10, 2025·2 min read
Day 12: URDF File for the RobotI am also planning on learning ROS2 Jazzy and Gazebo Harmonic for creating a simulation of the robots picking up the DIY car and placing it at the designated parking spot. To do this, first I will need to create URDF (Unified Robot Description Format...Aug 3, 2025·2 min read
Day 11: Control Systems—Part 2Today I learnt about linear time-invariant systems, transfer functions, stability, the Routh-Hurwitz criterion and Bode plots. I’ll be going over each topic in short, trying to explain what I understood from Brian Douglas’ videos, and hopefully you c...Aug 2, 2025·3 min read
Day 10: Control Systems – Part 1I have been watching Brian Douglas’ playlist on control systems, and this is what I have learnt today. Control systems is a mechanism to alter the future state of a system, while control theory is a strategy to select the appropriate input for the sy...Aug 1, 2025·3 min read
Day 9: It's SomethingWhile I have coded the 2D simulation, I wouldn’t consider it perfect right now in any way. Let me explain what I have done for now and what’s happening in the animation of my simulated parking lot. I have a total of six files for this project. The fi...Jul 31, 2025·3 min read
Day 8: 2D Simulation ExpectationsI am making a 2D simulation in pygame of what I expect my robots to do when cars keep arriving at the drop-off location to be parked. I’ll be explaining what I expect from my code/simulation, and for a thorough explanation, I have a drawing of the pa...Jul 30, 2025·2 min read
Day 7: Does it work?I think I can take a step forward now! Let me break it down for you guys. So, until now I have been trying to figure out a way to create an arm that will extend/rotate for my robot. For everyone who has read my blog posts, they will know that I have ...Jul 29, 2025·2 min read
