Mechanical Engineer
Focused, dedicated and talented technologist with a unique combination of high education and part
time job experience in designing and modeling. Excellent m echanical engineer worked in strict
deadlines within technically demanding environments. Designing includes d evelopment of 3D models,
specification generation, placement of the products and dynamical analysis. Major projects include
the autonomous robots, robotic arm, vending machine, pan tilt platform, hexapod, inverted pendulum,
engine parts and simulator for commercial aircrafts su ch as Boeing 777-200ER integrated with
hexapod to realization real scenario and electromechanical actuators etc. I have done lot of work in
the 3D modelling software. I have used SolidWorks and Pro Engineer for 3D modelling of hexapod,
double inverted pendulum, inverted pendulum, unmanned aerial vehicles and pan tilt platforms. I have
also used SolidWorks and VisualNastran-4D for dynamical simulation of the products. Also, fluent in
English, both written and orally. I have worked on subsea mechanical design ing in the university

RESEARCH THESIS
Design, Modeling, Stability Analysis and Motion Control of a Mechatronic
System.
The research work is a contribution towards Unmanned Aerial Vehicle’s (UAV)
development aiming at design, modeling, stability analysis and motion control of
Pan Tilt Platform (PTP) for a video camera. The PTP with motion controller is a
device that makes possible for the sensors to point in a desired direction. Th ere is
a growing demand for control systems with motion tracking ability. The practicality
of this research work can be extended to a broad range of applications. Of these,
the most apparent use is in defense, where there is a strong emphasis on reliably
neutralizing threats without risking human life. Unmanned aerial systems can
provide significant reductions in manpower and risk to humans for critical security
and defense roles. UAV can carry electro-optical payload to areas where it would
be dangerous for a human to go, and they can transit between operating stations
at high speeds, allowing for quick response to changing situations. Unlike ground
vehicles, UAVs are highly mobile in rough terrain and urban environments.
This thesis covers the PTP design based on kinematics, modeled with three
different techniques and stability analysis of each model. Then motion controllers
are designed based on system dynamics and linguistic knowledge. The
conventional, modern and hybrid control schemes are developed for PTP. Linear,
nonlinear and bond graph models of the PTP have been derived and stability of
PTP is analyzed using identified parameters. The performances of Langrage -Euler
based mathematical model are compared with PTP dynamics simulation in the
integrated dynamic simulation software’s. This provides an accurate model of
engineering systems such as electromechanical systems for performance and
qualities evaluations. The model is a total torque, angle representation in three
rigid body degrees of freedom in case of Newton-Euler and Lagrange-Euler. These
models are generalized, modularized and analytical representation of a PTP. The

Bond Graph Model (BGM) is a precise mathematical model of the physical system
in the sense that the state space equations of the physical system can be unfolded
from the BGM. This is used to obtain the model of multi-domain mechatronics
system. The novel controller is developed based on hybrid control scheme and
novel model of mechatronics system based on BGM.
The function of motion controllers is to track the desired inputs such that PTP
points in desired direction. Based on initial position and output angles from motion
controllers, the forward kinematics finds out final position (x, y, z) of camera and
these coordinates x, y, z are compared with desired coordinates in image
processing unit (IPU) and Laser range finder (LRF). The image grabber grabs the
image from the camera mounted on the PTP and sends it into IPU. The IPU with
LRF finds the desired x, y, z coordinates of the targe t. The coordinates are then
sent into direct calculation / inverse kinematics unit and it converts these
coordinates into desired input angles which are the inputs of motion controller.

The master thesis is part of an “Unmanned Aerial Vehicle” project, which aims at
Design, Modeling and Control of Pan Tilt Platform for CCD video camera. This
thesis describes the design modeling and control of a two degree of freedom
gimbal system for rapidly positioning a CCD video camera . The Pan-Tilt is a device
that makes possible for the sensors to point in a desired direction. The gimbal
system will be used to perform visual tracking experiments for the object tracking.
The gimbal device has 360 degrees of range for motion in the pan axis
continuously ( < pan < ), and 105 degrees of range of motion in the tilt axis

( 105 tilt 0 ). Positioning accuracy is 1.57 x 10-2 radians on the pan axis and
1.57 x 10-2 radians on the tilt axis. The Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID)
controller was used for the motion control of Pan Tilt Platform.

UNDERGRADUATE THESIS
“ROBOCON”, Robot for the ABU Asia-Pacific robot competition, Tokyo 2002.
The project aim was design and fabricate an autonomous robotic vehicle for ball
potting system to compete in the ABU Robot competition, Tokyo 2002 in Japan. A
sequence of instructions (assembly language program) is fed to robot processing
unit and it will continue to execute these instructions until a specified time of 3
minute is finished. An autonomous robot was designed and manufactured for
potting balls in tubes for Robocon competition. It is an automatic machine, which
has an automatically moving platform, which has increased the utility of the robot in
the game field. As robot is Automatic, So it can start from “Start Zone B” (only for
automatic machines). It has low weight and high quality due to use of thinner
Aluminum sheets & rods. This robot has storage of three balls, which enables the
robot to pot balls in tubes.
