Successfully achieved real-time autonomous navigation on diverse platforms, including both simulated environments (Gazebo) and multiple physical racecars. Leveraged a wide array of sensors and cutting-edge algorithms in ROS to enable robust and efficient navigation capabilities.Explored advanced localization techniques, such as DSOL/scan-matcher with LiDAR and depth-stereo camera, to accurately map the environment using Octomap/Voxblox and Hector SLAM in a custom ERL environment.

This International challenge aimed at designing an autonomous robot capable of disinfecting indoor environments of hospitals, homes etc by leveraging the use of UV lights. During this competition we designed a fully autonmous robot with features such as air purification system, autonomus docking, human safety features and capability to disinfect of any indoor surface using UV-C lamps. We leveraged the ROS navigation along with a plathora of sensors such as 2D lidar, TOF IR, PIR and… Show more This International challenge aimed at designing an autonomous robot capable of disinfecting indoor environments of hospitals, homes etc by leveraging the use of UV lights.

We leveraged the ROS navigation along with a plathora of sensors such as 2D lidar, TOF IR, PIR and Camera sensors for the same. We also developed an app featuring joystick control using camera feed, robot tracking & monitoring disinfection coverage Our team was adjudged to be the top design, and was awared US $10,000 for the same. The team has been granted an additional amount of US$ 10,000, by Micron, for developing and manufacturing a prototype. These efforts were a part of Micron Inc's global efforts to combat the spread of the novel corona virus and provide it's employees and the general public with safer workspace environments. Show less

During this internship I developed a Mask RCNN model to detect PPE compliance/non-compliance at the factory site in real time. To run the model I annotated and developed a custom database using images off the internet and some collected from the factory site. Then the images were pre-processed images edge detection and segmentation to identify whether the worker had a hard hat.Using real-time CCTV feed the model triggers warning msgs when workers without hardhats are detected

My project was to autonomously localize and navigate a two wheel diffrential drive robot for indoor environment. I implemented different mapping algorithms like Gmapping & Hector SLAM to generate an occupancy grid of the environment and then localizing the robot using Adaptive Monte Carlo Localization using 2D hokuyo lidar in the map generatedI also Implemented A* & Dijkstra path planning algorithms and optimized their parameters for accurate localization as well as path planning for the… Show more My project was to autonomously localize and navigate a two wheel diffrential drive robot for indoor environment.

Heading the Chassis Department of the Team. Designed and developed the spaceframe chassis and ergonomic systems for the car XLR-18.Researched on various composite monocoque chassis, optimized honeycomb and fibre orientation and thickness. Performed stress analysis on chassis elements for maximum weightreduction and material optimisation. Represented India at Formula Student Germany 2017, (Electric Category) as the only non-European team after securing World Rank 4 in FSG'17… Show more Heading the Chassis Department of the Team.
