ACADEMIC PROJECTS
Smartphone Radiation Detector Aug 2017 – Dec 2017
Worked in a two-person team to build an app to detect the radiation levels using the flash memory chip and a smartphone.
Single Rotor UAV Jan 2018 – May 2018
Design a sliding mode control for a single rotor UAV. Was a part of a two-member team to device a control using MATLAB and SIMULINK.
Single Link Robot Controller Aug 2018 – Dec 2018
Design a control technique for a single-link robot arm as a part of a two-member team, using MATLAB and SIMULINK.
Smart Car Controller July 2016 - May 2017
Worked in a three-person team to build an autonomous system controlled via gestures and Bluetooth voice commands.
Quad Bot August 2015 - September 2015
Worked in a three-person team to design and build the quad bot, a remote-controlled robot modeled on the appearance and movement of a dog. Used a Servo shield board, programmed using Arduino software, to decode commands from the remote (TV)(IR) and give a corresponding input signal to the driver board. Wireless Gesture-Controlled Car June 2015 - July 2016 Built a robot controlled wirelessly using hand gestures in a two-person team. To control the robot, an accelerometer was used to detect the tilting position of your hand then a microcontroller received different analogue values and generated command signals. This provided proof of concept for a gesture controlled robotic arm that can be used for welding or for handling hazardous materials. EXTRACIRICULAR & VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCE
