About Me

Lucas NAURY - MSc student

Currently pursuing a MSc in Robotics at Cranfield University, I'm looking for a position as a Robotics engineer.

I've always had a passion for IT. Using online courses, I've learnt various languages (HTML, CSS, JS, VueJS, C#, C++, C, Python, Java, etc.) to satisfy my curiosity. I've also created a few personal projects in my spare time, which you can consult below.

After playing with software and web programming, I discovered embedded programming and fell in love with it. I decided to pursue a carreer in that sector, as a robotics engineer.

Academic projects

Projet #1 - Digital Innovation Hackathon

In January 2024, I had the opportunity to take part in the Digital Innovation Hackathon organised by my school (IMT Nord Europe) in partnership with CITC and ENSAM Lille. Objective : design a robotic system capable of sorting parts of various shapes using a robotic arm (Niryo Ned2) equipped with a camera and a gripper. The parts were then placed on a conveyor (a Kobuki robot equipped with 2D lidar) and moved to points of interest. Technologies used : ROS2, Python, OpenCV

Niryo

Niryo Ned2

We first used the Niryo Ned2 robot and its vision kit to detect and then pick up parts.
Starting with simple squares/round shapes, we then had to pick up more complex parts.

Kobuki

The Kobuki robot is a "TurleBot" type robot. We used it to move parts from one point to another in the environment, using its 2D lidar to locate and navigate to specific locations.

Environment

The test environment was a maze. Once the Kobuki had been loaded by the robot arm, it had to move to one of the points in the environment.

Moving parts

The robot arm had to deposit the parts in the wooden box (cut out at the school fablab) placed on the Kobuki.

The map

Using a SLAM algorithm, we created a map of the test environment to determine the positions of points of interest and enable the robot to find its way around.

Project #2 - 3D Reconstruction

In April 2024, as part of a robotics and vision module, I participated in a one-week project. Objective: Take multiple shots of a 3D object using a Kuka robotic arm and an Intel RealSense camera to reconstruct the 3D model of the object. Technologies used: ROS2, Python, OpenCV

Kuka robot setup

KUKA KR 5 Sixx R650

We used an industrial Kuka robot for this project, equipped with a pneumatic gripper. The object to be scanned was a cube, placed on a base at a specific location.

Robot Movement

The robot handled grabbing the piece with its gripper and showing it from different angles to the Intel RealSense camera positioned above the workspace.

Computer vision

Computer Vision

A computer vision algorithm detected the color of the cube and measured the distance for each pixel on the face of the cube.

Result

Once the depth data from the different faces were collected, the point clouds had to be merged to create a mesh. The result still needs improvement but is quite satisfactory considering the project's duration.

Personnal projects

Project #1 - CONTROL

A PC game developed during the summer of 2020 using Unity 3D. The concept is simple: you control a character, and you need to reach the portal to move on to the next level. To do so, you can take control of other characters in the level by "shooting" them. Each character has special abilities, so the player must strategize to complete the level.

Project #2 - Recipes

Recipes is a web application that allows you to store your recipes in one place. With it, you'll no longer have to search through books or drawers for hours! You can access everything with just one click, from any device!
However, this isn't a typical recipe app. Recipes allows you to randomly choose recipes when you don’t know what to cook!

Overview

Recipes has several features such as: random recipe selection when you're out of ideas, cloud synchronization for your recipes, recipe sharing via a simple link, and many more...

Recipes

When displaying recipes, the user can see the time it will take, the difficulty, and the number of servings. Then, the steps and ingredients are organized by categories for easier understanding.

Project #3 - Workout Timer

A web application that allows you to plan your workout session. The user selects the duration, rest time, and number of repetitions for an exercise. The application then displays countdowns so that the user can fully focus on their workout!
