Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IITM) Summer 2018, Research Intern (Research area: Algorithms, Stochastic Optimization, Vibration analysis) Winter 2017

Pursued project - “Identification of appropriate resonance region for envelope analysis in roller bearings".

Vibration data was analyzed using the High Frequency Resonance Technique (HFRT) to identify resonance region and hence find the bearing’s life.

Studied and implemented different heuristic optimization algorithms like the Artificial Bee Colony (ABC), Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) etc. using MATLAB to optimize HFRT function. Projects (Selected)

Robust force control of industrial robot for trajectory planning on 3D contour surface Ongoing University of California, Los Angeles

Designed and implemented a hybrid robust force control model to enable accurate and smooth movement of industrial robot (ABB IRB 6640) using Simulink.

Simulated the working of the robot on Simscape environment using computer vision module for feedback. Precision flexure system for Self-Propelled Ink Deposition Robots (SPIDRs) 2020 University of California, Los Angeles

Designed a hybrid precision flexure system for vibration compensation of 5DOF vibrations and micro- actuation using SolidWorks. The parts were designed to be manufactured using planar processes.

Performed modal, structural and thermal analyses on the flexure system using COMSOL.

The Freedom and Constraint Topologies (FACT) chart was used for the compliant mechanism design. HAGriD - Hex Axis Gripper Device (6-DOF Pick and Place Robot) 2019 University of California, Los Angeles

Designed and fabricated a 6-DOF robot manipulator for pick and place applications

Designed gripper, links and motor housings in SolidWorks and fabricated parts using 3D printers.

Formulated the forward and inverse kinematics of the robot using DH method and simulated in MATLAB.

Dynamixel MX-28AR and XL320 servo motors were used for link and gripper actuation respectively. Autonomous Bus for UCLA using modified Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) 2019 University of California, Los Angeles

Designed and manufactured a 1/28 scaled down autonomous car for testing of algorithm.

Implemented an end-to-end autonomous control for the car through deep learning module (GAN) that uses video input from mounted camera.

Established V2V communication pipeline using NRF24L01+ wireless module for sharing of sensor data

Sensor data is collected through ROS and autonomous car control is enforced through RaspberryPi.
