Developed a novel design and fabrication technique for an insect-sized (75 mg) flapping-wing robot-RoboFly, which uses piezoelectric actuators for flapping wingsThis novel design makes the theRoboFly capable of multi-modal locomotion that includes aerial, walking, and water-surface loco-motionWorked on research involving the design of a low-weight on-board camera and a neural network to control theRoboFlyImplemented a real-time feedback controller using xPC Target and MATLAB/Simulink using feedback from off-board high-speed motion capture cameras as well as on-board sensorDeveloped a technique and designed a controller for controlling the heading of the robot while hovering, making RoboFly the first robot at this scale to control all six degrees of freedom with only two actuatorsProposed and worked on a complete sensor suite for the control autonomy of micro-scale flapping-wing robots. It involves sensor fusion of an IMU, a ToF IR sensor, and an optical flow sensorProgrammed the controller using MATLAB and simulations using Python

Irving, Texas, Us

Member of Core Simulation Group performing structural analysis for the Large Power Systems Division (LPSD)Worked on structural analysis projects which involve performing Finite Element Analysis (FEA) with the help of tools like Hypermesh and Abaqus on large engine components and assemblies. Applied the Finite Element Method to determine the critical areas of the engine components and to take corrective action to avoid on-field engine failure. Analysis responsibilities include- meshing the components using Hypermesh, exporting the solver deck of each component, and then creating an input file that calls out and properly assembles all the part instances. It further involves applying the boundary and loading conditions and running it on cluster. The output file generated by Abaqus processing is then analysed for the purpose of post processing. Worked on Design projects that involve designing, and correcting 3D CAD models in Pro-E Creo, which cannot be located correctly with respect to the whole engine assembly

Mumbai, Maharashtra, In

Worked with Engine R&D team to research on reducing the testing cycle time of engine that company manufacturesCreated a chart for drawing William’s line for each model (50 hp to 80 hp) of Engine that company manufacturesAchieved efficiency by reducing 60-minutes testing cycle for a new engine to 28-minutes one, with the help of William’s line for each 60 and 28-minutes cycle, without any compromise with the qualitySuccessfully tested the Engines with newly developed testing cycles. Succeeded in doubling the Engine delivery rate
