Duties include research and development of an autonomous system for Mining robot for the NASA RMC contest held every year. Expected target for the year has been set to fully autonomous navigation of the robot and collection of soil samples and gravels from various sites based on requirements.

Extended my work from research with Dr. Malathi to make the algorithms for easing differentiation of colors for people with color-blindness available on low power devices and worked with Professor Claire Volpe and Daniel Shiffman at the Processing Foundation. Researched about existing algorithms and optimised the implementation to improve the time.
