1. Determining how to move Sawyer's seven degree-of-freedom arm such that the end effector followed a straight line path (inverse kinematics)
2. To become familiar with the [CoreUSB](http://wiki.microduinoinc.com/Microduino-Module_CoreUSB), [Motion Sensor](http://wiki.microduinoinc.com/Microduino-Module_Motion), and [Battery Management](http://wiki.microduinoinc.com/Microduino-Module_BM_Li-ion) Microduino modules along with the [BlueSmirf](https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/using-the-bluesmirf) Bluetooth unit such that roll-angle data could be transmitted wirelessly from the top of the pendulum to a laptop.
3. Developing the control algorithm to move Sawyer's end effector and balance the pendulum stably. This involved creating a Mathematica simulation, and using a linearized form of the equations of motion to build a state space model of the system. The model was then used to develop an LQR controller in MATLAB.
4. Solid modeling the [attachment to Sawyer's end effector](media/Solid\Models/UM2_Sawyer_Attachment.gcode), the [pendulum holder](media/Solid\Models/Pendulum_holder.stl), and the [Microduino housing](Microduino_house.stl) for the top of the pendulum and then 3D printing them.
4. Solid modeling the [attachment to Sawyer's end effector](media/Solid%20Models/Sawyer_Attachment.stl), the [pendulum holder](media/Solid\Models/Pendulum_holder.stl), and the [Microduino housing](Microduino_house.stl) for the top of the pendulum and then 3D printing them.

**Software Requirements:** Needs ROS, Pyserial, the intera_sdk, the [modern_robotics](https://github.com/NxRLab/ModernRobotics) library, and an Arduino IDE
