As my first project for Hawkes Lab, this was my introduction to academic research. I started by characterizing a novel miniature Capstan Winch. There was a stick slip friction phenomena that caused our experimental results to significantly deviate from our initial theoretical model, resulting in multiple retests. After testing was complete, I collected media for our paper and helped test an experimental jumper application of the miniature Capstan Winch.
These results were published in IEEE and presented at IROS 2022.
The jumper was featured in the following Veritasium Video:
Example of Capstan Winch test. A small holding mass (<100g) was placed on the string on the end opposite the helix(left). A larger mass (<25 kg) was placed on the end contacting the helix(right).
Self-tensioning capstan winch that was used in the jumper. The holding mass was replaced with a friction generating drum mechanism.
