OBJECTIVE
Seeking Co-op/Fulltime as Robotics Engineer
EDUCATION
Master of Science in Robotics Engineering GPA: 3.80/4.00 May 2016 Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), Worcester, MA
(Courses: Robot Control, Robot Dynamics, Computer Vision, Model Based Design, Foundation of Robotics)
Bachelor of Technology in Electronics & Telecommunication Engg., GPA: 8.35/10 May 2013 Shree Guru Goind Singhji Institute of Engineering & Technology, India (SGGS IE & T) EXPERIENCE
Electronics & Programming Intern, OSRAM-SYLVANIA 25th May 2015 - Current
• Testing and Validating performance of various sensors is important part of product development in Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) companies for better selection of sensors from different sensor manufacturers. So, an automated sensor platform which can be programmed to test and characterize the important parameters of various sensors (like PIR, Vision, Thermal, etc.) in reliable and repeatable manner. In this project we are developing an electromechanical system (XY table) to with a black body radiator (BBR), representing human body, mounted on it. This XY table can move BBR in 2D space. A sensor under test mounted on the top of table will detect the motions generated with this setup. A graphical user interface is also under development to run and control the test setup.
Grader, WPI Jan. 2015 – May 2015
• Grading homework assignments and exam papers of Advance Computer Architecture course (ECE 572)
Lecturer, SGGS IE & T, India Aug. 2013 – Jun. 2014
• Taught Analog VLSI Design & Applications of Microcontrollers
• Designed & conducted lab sessions of same courses
• Worked as project guide for 5 groups of final year undergraduate students PROJECT
Designing Path Planning Algorithm for Steerable Needle, WPI, Jan. 2015 – May 2015
• Developed a MATLAB based Path Planner for steerable needle used in medical robotics
• RRT connect based algorithm is developed for path planning in 3D space. Vision Based Localization System, for Smart Home, WPI Sep. 2014 – Dec. 2014
• Localization is an important technology for pervasive computing. Global positioning system (GPS) is advantageous in terms of positioning accuracy and reliability in outdoor environments. But GPS does not work properly in indoor environments. Indoor localization of humans/robots is very important in terms of location based task implementation.
• In this project we achieved 6DOF location of ground robot (representing human) in static home environment with the help of a simple webcam to detect the location markers (AprilTags) pasted on ceiling. Open source libraries like OpenCV(C++ version) were used to interface webcam with Intel's Galileo Board running Linux OS on it. Detected 6D pose is then reported on central server where other IoT devices can perform their tasks based on this data. Manik M. Jahagirdar
