• Worked on MPDM (Multi-Policy Decision Making) framework to evaluate policies selected by an autonomous vehicle in a real-world scenario, implemented metrics that evaluate each policy based on progress, collision.
• Developed and implemented a novel way to calculate the penalty an autonomous vehicle should get for impeding/blocking other agents’ progress (patent pending).
• Developed and implemented robust planner features that generate policies for EGO including free-space planning, unprotected turns, ACC multiple-target selection, bezier curve libs, in-lane maneuvers, etc
• Worked on developing pedestrian intent estimation along route edges and behavior prediction to navigate safely in an urban environment
• Worked on the integration of different vehicle platforms by providing hardware and software support, and developed tools to aid in the process

• Perception and Planning lead Indy Autonomous Challenge (IAC)
• Optimization and analyzing the performance of PointPillars object detection within CARLA.
• Developing 3D object detection architecture that improves on PointPillars while maintaining low computational complexity
• The 3D tracker is initially based on a novel generalization of Kalman filtering for Lidar 3D point clouds as driven by 3D object detection

• Focused on developing machine learning models, production deployment, testing, scaling
• Projects Managed: # Modeling hydraulic control systems using Machine Learning; # Prognostics of the gearbox using Neural Networks # Clutch Characterization using Machine Learning
• Developed transmission and clutch controls on a CAN bus
• Presented several Wikis on Machine Learning and Controls in DSD internal conferences

East Lansing

• Thesis: On Receding Horizon Chance Constraint Motion Planning for Uncertain Multi-Agent Systems
• Developed a cooperative, multi-agent path-planning algorithm for an uncertain and dynamic environment
• Implemented the algorithm in a Python environment to check for feasibility and effectiveness
• Used mathematical tools like Chance Constraint, the theory of stochastic systems, Gaussian noise, prediction update through Kalman filter, etc to formulate the algorithm
• The algorithm is able to find path quickly and within the limits of user-defined safe-drive probability, and it can reduce the global cost among agents by using corporation among agents

• Created robotic vision and motor control algorithms for an autonomous Air-hockey table which can precisely track and hit the puck toward the goal respectively
• Helped in dispatching the Embed software by testing and integrating it with the Raspberry-pi micro-controller
• Developed game algorithms like one-bounce goal algorithm and random point strike algorithm for the air-hockey table
