2.12 Intro to Robotics
Head Lab Assistant, Spring 2025; Lab Assistant, Spring 2024; Student, Spring 2023
I took, and now teach, the broad Intro to Robotics class in MIT MechE for both undergraduate and graduate students, which covers topics such as dynamics, controls, electronics, programming, robot design, machine learning, and computer vision. As a lab assistant (LA), I helped update/streamline lab curriculum, design the final project, and assist students as they complete the labs. As the Head LA, I oversee all of these tasks, working closely with the Lab TA to develop/edit curriculum, ensuring the team of LAs is working effectively to create a robust set of expectations for the lab projects, and organizing the final project presentation.
