• Worked on the project ”Drone collision recovery for the DARPA Subterranean Challenge”• Taught myself ROS and created ROS packages, publisher/subscriber nodes and scripts to enable easy access to IMU and motors• Implemented the Q‐learn Reinforcement Learning (RL) pipeline that used IMU sensor data as input to make the drone upright in constrictedenvironments with scripts written in C++ and Python• Modified the in‐built motor model to include the bi‐directional thrust option as standard motor packages do not include it• Simulated RL pipeline in ROS + Gazebo environment which was validated through hardware testing

• Designed and created part drawings for motor housings as per DFM and GD&T standards for a SCARA robot used in pick and place applica‐tions, working closely with the electrical and controls team to ensure compatibility with mechanical design• Learnt PLC programming through interactions with controls team members and implemented pneumatic actuation through PLC controller• Sourced quotes from vendors and performed cost‐benefit analysis to present to management. Conducted regular meetings with vendorsto obtain order statuses, resolve problems and provide clarifications, leading to minimal slippage in lead times
