Bumblebee AI (now BloomX) artificial pollination internship

Key Action Items:

  • Designed several critical components of the pollination device using Solidworks
  • Traveled to Mexico for a field trial and brainstormed solutions to reduce part breakage while in the field
  • Optimized 3D printer parameters to fabricate production quality parts, while minimizing filament use
  • Took charge of constructing electronic control boxes, modified circuit diagrams and wired components

Bumblebee AI CAD/Drawings

  • 1. Electronics enclosure
  • 2. Vibrating pollination wheel assembly
  • 3. Metal pollination wheel drawing
