Sam Sebastian Luke

Dynamic engineering professional with strong skills in AutoCAD, SolidWorks, and design validation tools. Gained design expertise through academic and competitive projects, including developing a Formula SAE steering assembly, a robotic arm, and a smart helmet safety system. Built process flow and manufacturing knowledge through internships at Caterpillar, Toyota, and Tata Motors, applying CAD and problem-solving to streamline operations, and improve efficiency.

• Design of a HelmLocker, Secured 1st place in a 72-hour hackathon by developing an innovative solution that required riders to wear helmets.
• Designed and Fabricated RoboArm, Led a team of three to be the only ones to complete a 48-hour makeathon with a fully functional robotic arm, securing 1st place.

Sustainable Energy Harvesting Mechanism for Underwater Unmanned Vehicles - AutoCAD, Ansys, 3D Printing  

• Led a three-member team to design an innovative wave energy harvesting system for UUVs, featuring a gearbox converting bidirectional motion to unidirectional output, validated through ANSYS and MATLAB, and prototyped via 3D printing.

Design of a HelmLocker - AutoCAD 

• Designed a smart solution for locking a helmet, securing 1st place in a hackathon conducted by Raptee using AutoCAD for designing. The design compelled the rider to wear a helmet in order to ride the bike, resulting in a 85 percent less fatality during an accident.

Designed and Fabricated RoboArm - Arduino IDE, Solid works, 3D Printing, Manufacturing  

• Led a three-member team in designing and fabricating a robotic arm with 6 degrees of freedom, securing 1st place in Roboprix.

CNC Drawing Machine - ArduinoIDE, Inkscape, Manufacturing  

• Fabricated a CNC drawing machine as a personal project. It can be used to draw or write any given input on any piece of paper using any writing instrument of users choice.
