🤖 Quadruped Robot- Leading a multi-disciplinary team in the development of a quadruped-based project. The project aims to deploy multiple robot dogs to explore unknown terrains, locate various items (acorns, coins, etc.), and pick them up. Additionally, the project involves having other robots converge on locations with excessive items. Each robot dog drops uniquely colored beads at periodic intervals while traversing the terrain.- Focus on Image Processing: Spearheading image processing initiatives, utilizing live input feed and implementing contrastive loss to determine the relative position between beads. This information guides the robot dogs on their movement paths.🚁 Drones- Led a team of five in the development of an algorithm to empower swarm drones for large environments. The primary objective is to detect and safely land on the nearest charging pad, employing Steam VR markers and computer vision.- Developed a custom script enabling Crazyflie Drones to safely land on unstable moving platforms, leveraging a two-wheeled robot (Tumbller). Implemented PID and MPC controllers for precise control and coordination.

- Led the Aircraft Design Team in a multi-team project focused on introducing Air Taxis in India.Guided the team from conceptualization to prototyping and simulation, playing a pivotal role in finalizing specifications, including material and motor selection and design. - Collaborated with cross-functional teams to understand their requirements and expectations for the aircraft and its components, gaining insights into organizational structure and functioning.- Presented progress and findings to senior program managers, professors, and partnering organizations, honing skills in articulating complex information to diverse audiences. - Streamlined the recruitment process as the leader of the recruitment team, resulting in the successful onboarding of over 30 individuals from various disciplines. Laid down the entire process, from candidate selection, to providing role-specific questionnaires and documentation, and onboarding each candidate. This ensured the hired candidates were up to speed on the project.
