ABOUT ME
My name is Aseeb Qazi,
I am a recent mechanical engineering graduate from the University of Texas at Arlington.
I chose mechanical engineering because I am interested in figuring out how everything works.
What I am most passionate about doing is product development. That is to research, design, prototype, and complete the product.

ACADEMIC & TECHNICAL PROJECTS
Proto Robotic Arm
Proto Robotic Arm,
01/2021 to 03/2021
Objective of the Project
Engineered a new prototype from scratch to the Senior Design Project; leveraged FEA through ANSYS and SolidWorks to design, model, draft and create a working autonomous robotic arm.
Designed models using SolidWorks and Drafted using GD&T for an autonomous arm with four degrees of freedom.
Optimized design constraints from the results of the finite element analysis (FEA) done on linkage mechanisms through ANSYS.
Created a python script using ROS to compile computed data readings and create a feedback loop between OpenCV software for computer vision detection, Moveit software for the kinematic solver, and the Teensy microcontroller.
OMRON Proto Autonomous Arm
OMRON Proto Autonomous Arm,
Senior Design Project, 01/2020 to 08/2020
Objective of the Project
The foremost function of this project is to press the appropriate elevator buttons so the vehicle can travel between floors. This project aims away from the traditional industrial arms that tend to be heavier and power hungry. The arm developed is intended to act as a major steppingstone for future light weight arm projects. All our designs needed to meet certain design specific criteria. The parts needed to be as light as possible so that the supplied motors would not experience excessive torque. They would also need to be designed in such a manner that the stress concentrations were minimized, and the parts also needed to integrate with the off the shelf parts used with minimal restriction to movement.
Developed a lightweight autonomous robotic arm that can press appropriate elevator buttons resulting in the OMRON LD Series Autonomous Mobile Robot to travel between floors.
Collaborated in a Team of 5 undergraduate mechanical engineers; developed a robotic arm for an OMRON LD-Series AMR, to allow travel between floors by scanning, detecting, and pushing elevator floor levels.
Implemented a MATLAB-based simulation environment for an autonomous robotic arm, enabling precise motion trajectory planning within elevator constraints; optimized linkage arms' paths to ensure efficient and collision-free movement, enhancing overall operational performance.
Constructed an image processing system using OpenCV to detect elevator buttons and relay target coordinates.
Created a python script to detect and compute live feedback of coordinated positions from the desired object.

Five Link Manipulator,
08/2019 – 12/2019
Objective of the Project
The objectives for this final exercise of the Limacon Drawing Five bar Linkage project are to implement the joint space and operational space forms of the computed torque method, simulate the motion of the linkage drawing the limacon using both forms of torque computation, and demonstrate the results (act of linkage drawing the limacon) for joint and operational space using the previously designed hardware.
Comparison between theoretical prediction and the experimental motion: The small differences between the theoretical and actual trajectory of the end-effector can be attributed to assumptions made about mass properties of the gearing in the motor and printed joints. Assumptions and estimations were also made about the friction and resistance within the motor. Friction between the pencil and paper were not considered at all. Play and friction between the links of the five-bar linkage may also contribute to deviations between the physical and simulated limacon.
Created a nonlinear solver for the Five Link Manipulator in Matlab to plot the workspace for all possible positions of the end effector
Created models using Solidworks for the four linkages and the base link that housed the two base motors and encoders.
Created a MATLAB scripts to simulation a plot of the multibody system tracing a limacon with the nonlinear solvers using Operational Space Control and Joint Space Control
Modeled an experimental component using Arduino IDE as the interface to control the system
Plotted Workspace for Mechanisms End Effector in MATLAB
Simulated Animation of the Five-Link Member Drawing the Limacon in MATLAB
Thermal Cooling Project
Thermal Cooling Project,
11/2019 – 12/2019
Objective of the Project
This project is inspired by the work done by Lee in his 1999 paper where he investigated thermal enhancement on flip chip plastic BGA packages using CFD tools. He investigated various thermal enhancement techniques using alternative CFD software: Flotherm. For this project, you will perform a similar investigation using ANSYS Icepak. Some geometric information as well as properties has been modified for simplification purposes.
Designed a convection cooled, cooling system for an electronic device with multiple heat sources.
Used ANSYS (Icepak) to create a simulation model of the system to analyze maximum temperature heat flow.
Experimented with different fan sizes and heat sinks to minimize maximum temperature.
Geometry and Material Properties
Create the model in ANSYS Icepak by using the following geometric and material property definitions.
