Projects
My projects originate from identifying gaps in the world, in my knowledge, and in my skills. I build to fill those gaps and to learn new things. Here are some of the things I've built and learned from!
Robot Learning — TRLC-DK1
2026Exploring the intersection of physical robotics and AI on an open-source arm, from teleoperation to training my first imitation-learning policies.
Quadruped Robot
2026A full-stack quadruped, a MuJoCo simulation and Dynamixel hardware driven from one config, built to sharpen my classical robotics and kinematics.
RoboForAll
2026A low-cost, classroom-ready robotics kit and curriculum built to bring hands-on robotics to elementary students.
FRC — Team 751
2026Four years and six subsystems on Barn2Robotics, Team 751, from my first static intake to the mechanisms I led as a senior.
Radial Microspine Gripper
2026A scaled-down, omnidirectional microspine gripper inspired by NASA JPL's LEMUR 3.
This Website!
2025How I built erolcetinok.com, my first web project.
Microspine Climbing Robot
2025A gecko-inspired, microspine wall-climbing robot, and my first dive into biomimetic robotics.
Mountain Bike Suspension Replacement
2025Converting my full-suspension Cervélo ZFS-5 to a hardtail with a custom, FEA-optimized CNC link.
