SCHLUMBERGER DOLL RESEARCH CENTER Cambridge, MA

Robotics Intern May - August 2019

Evaluated 2D/3D registration techniques of computer vision for systematic and thorough digital inspection for ensuring the quality of the manufactured parts using 2D GigE vision camera and Intel RealSense. Implemented functions which matches 3D point cloud data with 3D CAD models to an accuracy of ~97%. UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON Houston, TX

Teaching Fellow, Basic Electronic and Electrical Circuits August 2018 – Present Taught class of 31 students to optimize and validate circuits with semi-conductor devices on NI Multisim. Maintained weekly office hours and problem-solving sessions. Graded problem sets and exams. Course Projects

Spiral and Lawnmower Search Using AprilTags – ROS April - May 2019 Implemented spiral search and lawnmower search techniques on a ROS platform to scan AprilTags, where the search agent is Cozmo, an intelligent robot by Anki and search component is an AprilTag cube. Fuzzy Logic Controller for Obstacle Avoidance – MATLAB, Arduino April - May 2019 Designed and implemented a real-time obstacle avoidance system that feeds he sonar sensor data as input to the logic controller, designed in MATLAB which steers the robot based on the fuzzy rule base to avoid obstacles. Blob Detection Using Robotic Arm – Image Processing (MATLAB) Oct. – Nov. 2018 Developed and Optimized a code in MATLAB to detect an object/blob and engineer robotic arm movements accordingly to follow the blob using Real-Time Camera Feedback. Assistive Health Bot – IBM Bluemix, Node.js, Raspberry Pi 3 Dec. 2017 - April 2018 Evaluated and analyzed the performance impact of an interactive Chatbot, which acts as a physical interface between a doctor and the patient by doing pre-diagnosis using sensors on an IoT platform, utilizing IBM Bluemix services.

Voice Controlled Prosthetic Arm for Physically Disabled – 3D Printing, C May – Nov. 2017 Designed and built a life-sized 3D printed prosthetic arm with 8 degrees of freedom actuated by servo motors. Also implemented voice recognition algorithm on an Arduino compatible shield which operates on voice commands of the user.
