Professional Experience

Intern – JAY Robotics Pvt. Ltd. 2017 – 2018

Hosted technical and non technical workshops at numerous universities and schools to train around 100-150 students on robotics and automation.

Individually designed & developed a self balancing robot and PID line follower.

Collaborated in a team of 4 developing a robot with obstacle avoidance and edge detection programs.

Leveraged knowledge of simulation, kinematics, and dynamics by designing a robot, 3d printed the design and customised slips, brakes and controls.

Selected Projects

Gesture Controlled Robotic Arm with Human Hand-Like Gripper

Led team of 4 on implementation of all-terrain vehicle (ATV).

Served as lead on project distinguished as “2018 Best Project” from a state-level organization.

Built a Hand-like gripper comprised of servos, the Arduino, glove, and flex sensors.

Gripper system worked in conjunction with variable resistors, a voltage divider, and the Arduino to process sophisticated movements and gestures.

Utilized webcam to provide real-time visual feedback.

Voice Controlled Drone

Built drone based on Arduino Pro Mini board with PWM pin-controlled motors.

Used Android smartphone for communications utilizing HC-05 Bluetooth technology.

Total cost for the project was $11.
