Thesis:

•

Human Robot Interaction of an Android Head

Description: The thesis addresses the issues with Human-Robot Interaction of an android head which

deals with neck-eye co-ordination, facial expressions, lip-syncing, target tracking and environment

awareness. A ROS package is being developed which deals with various aspects of an android head

and try and bridge the uncanny valley.

Experience

Accenture Services Pvt. Ltd. November 2010-August2013

Senior Programmer: SAP (HR Module) Automated Quality Assurance and Quality Assurance for mining and

banking domain.

Description:

Created manual test scripts and automated scripts according to the Business Requirements using HP QTP and

HP QC and ensured to make them reusable and flexible for future use. I have also gained functional knowledge

of SAP HR Module. During this period I used HP QTP extensively and have gathered immense working

knowledge of the same.

• Application Tester certification from Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

• Information Technology Infrastructure Library V3 Certified.

• Managed a team consisting of 5 programmers.

University of Texas at Arlington Research Institute July 2014-August2014

Research Assistant: Developing ROS modules to enable Human-Robot Interaction in a mobile robot.

Description:

My responsibilities were to develop ROS nodes to detect human touch and manipulate mobile robots to react so

as to avoid user contact. This included reading values from touch sensors, detecting robot pose and tracking the

TF tree and planning the direction of motion.

Academic Projects

• Facial Expression Generation in an Android Head

Description: Facial expression of a human user was tracked and various expressions were recorded. These

features were used to train a neural network classifier. Then the system was used to track and drive an

android head named Philip K. Dick’s facial expression depending on the user.

• Target Tracking by an Android Head assisted by Multiple Cameras

Description: This project enabled the android head Philip K. Dick to point its gaze towards a desired target

or an object. The advantage of using multiple cameras is to ensure robust tracking of the target. The issue

of neck-eye co-ordination during tracking process is also addressed in the project.

• Back-stepping Control of Android Head (PKD) for Neck-Eye Co-Ordination

Description: This project implemented a non-linear controller, i.e. back-stepping controller, in order to

control the neck and eye motion of an android head during the course of target tracking.

• Mirrored Prosthetic Arm, Driving the Robo-limb

Description: I was involved in the programming aspect of the prosthetic arm to execute mirrored motions

of the healthy arm. It was based on CAN protocol, flexi-sensors and Linux based system.

• Micro-robotics Magnetic Field Base Locomotion Control

Description: The project involved tracking of microscopic elements which were driven by a magnetic field

attached to two linear stages. The project was based on LabView and secured the first position at

International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) 2014, Hong Kong.

• Real Time Data Acquisition and Control Systems

Description: Using the FPGA board as a Server and PC as the client, testing the various peripherals of

FPGA by client server interactions through TCP/IP connection.

• Embedded Microcontroller Systems

Description: Built a node to operate on bidirectional peer to peer based communication system following

RS 485 protocol. The system is also capable of programming the EEPROM of the microcontroller to

change the device ID when required.

• Voice Command Recognizing Robot

Description: Voice Command Recognizing Robot was created as a part of final year project. Controlling a

robot using parallel port is the cheapest way. When integrated with voice it is very easy even for a

differently abled person to control the home appliances using this robot.

• Augmented Reality

Description: Created a project in augmented reality using Augmented Reality Toolkit. By the use of

Augmented Reality Toolkit, created animation using a camera and a marker, which is cheaper than the

conventional methods.

• Multiple Face Recognition using Neural Network

Description: Presented a paper on Multiple Face Recognition and created a demo project using Eigen

faces and neural networks
