My name is Bob Sherbert and this is my small haunt on the interweb where I have posted samples of my work and projects I have been involved with to allow those interested to gain a better understanding of my abilities.

For those who seek an abridged version I have also posted my resume.

I am what could be called a robotics enthusiast - most of my interesting work so far has been centered around robotics projects. Between 2004 and 2006 I participated, through a team at my high school, in two MATE ROV (Marine Advance Technology Education Center, Remotely Operated Vehicle ) competitions. We ranked nationally in both competitions, taking home first and third place respectively. Both systems were impressive given the time frame (3-4 months) and I encourage anyone interested to look at both. Of the two, the 05-06 project reflects the experience gained on the 04-05 project and is doubtlessly the technically superior design. I have included diagrams of the circuits I designed for that project on the appropriate page.

Currently I attend Drexel University as an undergraduate Computer Engineering Major and am involved in a number of interesting projects. I work on various bits of research with the Drexel Autonomous Systems Laboratory (see menu at right) and participate, through them, in the Indoor Aerial Robotics Competition. The IARC is a small competition for Philadelphia area colleges which revolves around the design and construction of miniature autonomous zeppelins.

This summer I had the privilege to work at Drexel's Nanosoft Laboratory, a group which focuses on optics and lithography. Through an NSF grant recently received by the lab I worked on developing educational modules focusing on nanotechnology and engineering concepts. The modules are meant to convey concepts from both nanotechnology and good engineering practice and are built mostly with LEGO NXT robotics units. One of these modules will be implemented in Drexel's Freshman design sequence this coming winter (2007). Please see the project page for more information.
