Hello! My name is Khoi Nguyen. I'm a Simon Fraser University graduated student with Bachelor of Applied Science in Mechatronic Systems Engineering. I use my website to summarize the projects that I have worked on.
I try me best to keep it up-to-date but it requires a significant amount of time and dedication to summarize the key points on projects that I have worked for weeks/months. With that said
I hope you find what you came here for. You can e-mail me at for further information duykhoin@sfu.ca.
Portfolio Recent Work
Automated Dispensing Hydroponics System - Capstone
This project involves development of a liquid dispensing system for a hydroponic growth system. The objective is to automate the operation so that an optimal amount of nutrients can be supplied to the plants using a system instrumented with sensors and actuators.
Throwing ball robot arm project
This is a group project for MSE 312 by SFU. The goal of the project is to design, build and implement a throwing ball robot arm with trajectory planning. The robot is required to throw a ball accurately to a given range of distance (75cm-200cm) in 3 given tries.
Mobile Manipulation Capstone Project
This is a capstone project for ME 449 by NorthWestern University. The goal of the project is to plan a trajectory for the end-effector of the youBot mobile manipulator (a mobile base with four mecanum wheels and a 5R robot arm), performs odometry as the chassis moves, and performs feedback control to drive the youBot to pick up a block at a specified location, carry it to a desired location, and put it down
Anti-stalking device with thermal camera using computer vision (CEC 2022)
For Canadian Engineering Competition (2022), we participate in Innovative Design where we propose our solution for people walking safely in the dark by using computer vision to detect stalkers approaching behind. This project landed us the 2nd place, among top 3 with University of Waterloo and McMaster University
SCARA Chess Manipulator
During my course for Advanced Kinematics for Robotics at SFU, my group designed a 3 DoF SCARA manipulator arm that conducted 10 moves for both black and white.
MSE 491 Applied Machine Learning in Mechatronic Systems Design Project
For the design project, we design a Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for early self-diagnostic of skin lesion disorder using computer vision
FSAE Battery Box (2020)
As part of my project for FSAE, I designed the battery module and accumulator for high voltage battery.
Virtual Oscilloscope using Labview
This is a simple oscilloscope developed via Labview by taking input from users and show analyzed results
EEG signals classification using SVM and LDA
This project features classification between "eating" and "writing" for EEG signals, utilizing IMU data
