I grew up in Southern Tier, New York. I studied mechanical engineering and robotics. I taught mechatronics for two years in South America. Now I do controls for things like surgical robots, lunar landers, and hypersonic airplanes. https://www.josephcampion.com/work daily 0.75 2022-11-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1c52cfb0a3be4aac9b1b6c/af5c6d43-9a26-4e2c-8830-e59e756f79c6/mando_pic.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1c52cfb0a3be4aac9b1b6c/00ef992d-f122-4ef1-8e8d-67cfae2e7935/halycon.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1c52cfb0a3be4aac9b1b6c/66c7fe6b-ca3d-4834-ace8-262f6a727389/astrobotic_lander.jpeg Work - Astrobotic Technology Before Hermeus, I was a GNC Engineer at Astrobotic. GNC stands for Guidance, Navigation, and Control. In other words, where is our spacecraft (N)? Where do we want it to go (G)? And how do we get from here to there (C)? In this case, the destination is simply…to the Moon! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1c52cfb0a3be4aac9b1b6c/1621706949371-FH9Y2VMS7T6ZKDC57641/re2_hdms.jpeg Work - RE2 Robotics After South America, I was a Control Systems Engineer at RE2 Robotics (pronounced “are-ee-squared”). I helped build robotic arms for everywhere except the factory floor: aviation, energy, and medical industries in addition to defense. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1c52cfb0a3be4aac9b1b6c/1621707894586-H49CW37JEW3IMO93M5A6/utec_w_bg.jpeg Work - UTEC After school, I worked for two years as a mechatronics instructor at a new university in Lima, Peru called la Universidad de Ingeniería y Tecnología, or UTEC for short. I have always enjoyed teaching and this was an awesome opportunity to do just that while curing some wanderlust. https://www.josephcampion.com/school daily 0.75 2022-05-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1c52cfb0a3be4aac9b1b6c/1621728580463-8AQGESUE0V88DWON9QNB/GraphkitSideView.png School - CHARM Lab I worked in the CHARM Lab which stands for Collaborative Haptics And Robotics in Medicine. It’s a sweet acronym, and they know it. I helped design and build a two-dimensional version of the Hapkit in the form of a pantograph. My job was to program the inverse dynamics and the haptic virtual environments such as a rough surface and a virtual box within the workspace. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1c52cfb0a3be4aac9b1b6c/1621726782414-TSF2DOXOZCB6LD6UIQ6V/AA273ProjectPlot8.jpg School https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1c52cfb0a3be4aac9b1b6c/1638834755720-MAV1CW16O7WUTR9M8SSW/PE_rrt_star_fast.jpg School https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1c52cfb0a3be4aac9b1b6c/1621726758166-FEXZCLF0VD6Q8D0P6L6B/gyro_diagram.png School
