Overview
Growing out of manipulation work at Chimera Research, this project drives an SO-101 arm through a visible pick-and-place task end to end.

Solo project
SO-101 Pick-and-Place with Visual Tracking
Robotic manipulation demo using OpenCV tracking and hand-calculated inverse kinematics to guide an SO-101 arm through pick-and-place behavior.
Project Summary
What I built
A short look at the build, the main technical choices, and the pieces I iterated along the way.
What I Built
I developed OpenCV tracking, mapped tracked object positions into encoder-space targets, and implemented inverse kinematics by hand for the SO-101 arm.
Technical Highlights
The project connects perception, hand-derived kinematics, encoder-space control targets, and manipulation benchmarking in a compact pick-and-place demo.
