Projects

• August 2019 to June 2020: Intelligent (Environment Aware) Autonomous Vehicle,
  • for IGVC (Intelligent Ground Vehicle Competition), organized by RoboNation Competition Link
    • Annual international competition held at Rochester Institute of Technology; multidisciplinary in nature.
    • Developed a fully compliant all-terrain vehicle for autonomous motion tracking; path planning & traversal.
    • Led a team of 20+ students; oversaw all major aspects of the product’s (robot’s) development from manufacturing to electronics to computer programming.Team Report
• July 2019 to April 2020: An open, easily replicable & modular design for a regenerative aqua pump,
  • Final Year Undergraduate Project
    • Designed an open-hardware system using commercial off the shelf components (COTS); which can be easily replicated at scale.
    • Developed a modular water pump - can be connected to any bicycle & used for generating electricity & for pumping water at the same time from a well.
    • Achieved a low cost - high ROI (with one-time CAPEX) by designing a product with eco-friendly; readily-available & economic components.
• October 2019 to February 2020: NMIMS Robotics Testbed - 1 (NRT-1), a satellite payload,
  • Manufacturing Engineer
    • project backed by ISRO (the Indian Space Research Organization); under its SpaceShare program - about 8-9 applications were finalized from a pool of thousands of research proposals (which included top Indian Institutes).
    • Designed and manufactured a test-bed for a Terfenol-D (magnetostrictive material) in space. The project deliverable is a payload; set to launch on an upcoming PSLV rocket (in Q1 2021).
    • Lead design & manufacturing of a highly constrained payload (constrained by space, dimensions, weight & scale of components attached).
    • Performed various regression & stress tests on the payload - thermovac, vibrations, signal encryption & attenuation in Class 1 clean rooms.
• June 2017 to July 2019: Singapore Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Challenge 2018 & 2019,
  • Team Captain
    • Annual Robotics Challenge organized by the IEEE OES (Oceanic Engineering Society).
