Assist undergraduate students for assembling and functioning of a fully autonomous line following robot for the coursework. Project involves programming Arduino board and Integrated circuits for controlling servo motors and sensors to follow a desired path

Working as a Design Intern at Bosch Rexroth, India, gave me a hands on experience on industrial practices and standards, communication with the suppliers and production processes. I interned in the Manifold Block design department and worked with Hydraulic components, application circuits diagrams and PRO-E platform tailored to global standards of Bosch. I was a part of the team working on optimization of Power pack housing.
