Nereus at Wilhelmus Lab

As a member of the Wilhelmus Lab at Brown, I manufactured coils for the submersible Nereus robot. Fabrication process included 3D printing & coil winding. Tools included CAD, stepper motor control, & Arduino IDE.

Coil winding process uses a stepper motor and Arduino Nano program to turn the motor 280 times while 32 AWG enameled wire was carefully tensioned and wound around each core.

Each coil required precise winding to comply with the tight tolerance of the chasis. Fitment is shown.
