Bonus Project Relevance
I have worked on multiple IoT-based projects using servo motors, ultrasonic sensors, and
ESP32, which align closely with FANUC's use of precise motor control, real-time sensor
feedback, and IoT data processing. This experience is directly relatable to FANUC’s FIELD
system and robotic arm automation logic.
