Experience

RoboSapiens Technologies Pvt. Ltd(May 2011) [INTERNSHIP]

Overview: Intermediate course on Robotics and Embedded C in AVR.

Created Modular and Autonomous systems using AtMega 8 Microcontroller functioning for GSM controlled robots.

Department of Electronics Engineering, IIT -BHU (May-July 2012) [INTERNSHIP]

Overview: Worked under Professor Amritanshu Pandey in Electronics Dept.

Worked on improving Bandwidth performance of Amplifiers. Designed Amplitude Modulators and Frequency Modulators.

Academic Projects

1. Real Time 3-D Object Sorting and Stacking System

Overview: To design a hard-real time system using Robotic arm, NTSC cameras and WindRiver’s VX works RTOS

Designed a computer vision(multiple NTSC cameras) system on VxWorks RTOS and integrated it with 5 DOF

Robotic Arm using Intel Atom Processor to create a colour and size based sorting and stacking robotic system with mu ltiple

deadlines.

2. Audio Digitization and Storage Using FPGA

Project Mentor: Prof. M Radhakrishna

Overview: FPGA Hardware Implementation of ADC/ DAC interfacing using I2C and Digital Memory Storage on

Altium NanoBoard Kit

Designed Analog Audio Sensing Circuit for Electret Microphone and interfaced the above with the FPGA for

digitization, compression, storage and the retrieval of acoustic signals

3. Optimizing Face Recognition model on RaspberryPi using OpenCV

Overview: Worked on optimization through varying the input parameters passed to the basic FaceRecognizer

Algorithm for opencv library such that the computation time reduces while still maintaining the accuracy. Also

analyzed how scaling input images and overclocking affects the computational time for the face recognition.

Worked on the AT&T face database for the project

4. Branch Prediction Simulation using Intel PIN tool

Overview: Used the PIN tool(instrumentation tool) to implement multiple simulators to evaluate the prediction

performance (accuracy) of a branch-prediction buffer with various branch prediction schemes by modelling a direct -mapped

Branch Target Buffer (BTB) table in C/C++ programming language to simulate the branch prediction mechanism. Some of

the simulators implemented are single bit branch predictor, two bit branch predictor, two level GAg branch predictor and

two level PAg branch predictor.

5. Game theoretic Utility Design for Socially optimal Bandwidth allocation for WSNs

Overview: Compared different game theoretic Utility design approaches by finding and comparing the results for Stability

and Anarchy in the given bandwidth allocation system for WSNs. This bandwidth allocation game for a set of nodes was

designed as a Distributed Welfare Game where Social Welfare Functio n is to be maximized.

6. Automated Line Solving Robot

Project Mentor: Mr. Ajay Singh Raghuvanshi

Overview: An automated Robot using AtMega 8 Microprocessor capable of solving a line maze

Designed the embedded code for AtMega 8 microprocessor driving a wheel bot capable of adaptively computing the

shortest path for the line maze. Worked in a team of 3 where I was mainly involved in Algorithm Development part of the

project.
