i'm jerry, a mechanical engineering freshman at uiuc. i build robots, drones and electric vehicles. this is where i'll be posting them!

Just so annoying to think that all of this has been done without an audience

haha thanks for the inspo

Dang Jerry, that’s a lot of cool shit

i appreciate it!

That’s so cool man, robotics and iot is something I always wanted to do but I went the CS route, now with AI I’ve been trying to get into it, I’ve upgraded this version to use Gemini voice commands to control the car which was really fun to build out

that's really cool, how did you set up the voice control? does gemini go to the car's controller directly or is it through a laptop/phone first

hello jerry li please check out

HAHA i met another jerry li at uwaterloo and it was crazy. just filled out the app, will forward to him as well

Want a job building drones?

that sounds really cool! i'm interested

Sent you a dm

jerry this shit cool as hell keep building !!

thanks, super excited to keep posting here!

Cool!

thanks

Hell ya Jerry show us what you got.

preciate the support

Hi Jerry, I advise a start up company in SF that builds robots. They’re well funded. DM me if interested.

wow, that's amazing! what kind of robots?

new hardware guy on my TL 🤝🤝

preciate this!

👏

thank you!

Bravo! Was hit by a truck recently, and man would that 3D print remover bot make life easier for our fleet management these days. Keep up the amazing work. You are creating so much tangible value it is inspiring to see.

thank you so much, wishing you a speedy recovery🙏

Impressive detailed knowledge on each item you have made!

haha thanks, theres even more in-depth documentation here

Next level awesome, Jerry. Keep soaring, bro 😎

thank you bro!

@elonmusk Hire him, immediately!

@elonmusk lol

Cool stuff, gave you a follow

thank you!

All of this is so cool

thanks!

Once your realize objects in motion stay in motion , all of this looks trivial. Must have an awesome support system for a kid bravo.

yeah, taking the first step without being sure of yourself is always really important

No that’s incorrect. You should always be sure of yourself when u take your steps whether first or last. Whether it’s faith based or confidence it all reins from god and that power( energy ) in you is It’s contagious Other wise … how’d u get those materials. Think

Uiuc talent 🤞

lets goo

Jerry do you have the pen plotter in GitHub by any chance?

lol looking back its def not polished, it has hardcoded shapes and coordinates. cartesianPathing.ino is the latest program

I see I’m in the midst of vibecoding a 12 pen interchangeable plotter. So I was curious about a few of the approaches details. On your setup.

super cool, if you have any other questions feel free to dm!

Godspeed

thank you 🙏

Very cool atiff. Proud of you Jerry!

thank you 🙏

this guy is really smart

lmao thanks zach 🙏

Welcome Jerry! Love that you're building electric vehicles, that's exactly the kind of clean tech innovation we need more of. Looking forward to your projects! #CleanEnergy

thank you!

Cool stuff Jerry!

thank you bro!

robots drones and evs is a solid starting lineup. which build are you most excited to show here first

haha honestly excited to share all of them, but i'll definitely prioritize stuff that was purely personal and wasn't for any competition, think that it's always more interesting

insane guy

thank you bro

I want to do robotics. If I watch your videos I can learn write? I know nothing now

yeah i'll be posting explanations of my projects here, also feel free to dm with any questions. would recommend youtube too since thats where i learned most things, so much free knowledge there

impressive!

thank you!

how did you do that? One advice to make things like these

just start before you think you're ready, this is what i did for all of my projects, believe that you will figure it out along the way and you will pull it off :)

Beyond 3d printing, how do you access the rest though? Some of those frame look CNC bent.

yeah vast majority of the cncing was outsourced through online manufacturing sources (including bent sheet metal parts), a few parts were made on my friend's cnc

Impressive

haha thank you!
