PROJECTS

Robotics

--------

1.Cooperation of Multi-Agent Autonomous Systems

 Project deals with developing and testing various algorithms employed for the cooperation and flocking of multi robot systems.

 Proposed the hardware to be used and built each robot from scratch.

 Autonomy of each robot is designed using various sensors and Predictive Kalman Filtering.

2.Simulation of a 3 Link RRR Robotic Arm

 Simulated a 3 link RRR robotic arm using MATLab.

 The project primarily dealt with the arm tracing a wall vertically by applying a known amount of force to it.

 Performed analysis of the robot kinematics (Forward and Inverse), designed the robot dynamics and the force control for the robotic arm to trace the wall.

FPGA Design

-----------

1.Implementation of Skein-512 Hash Function

 Developed the complete VHDL description of the hash function.

 Synthesized the design using Xilinx 10.1 ISE.

 Functional, timing and power analysis performed using ModelSim simulator and XPower Tool respectively.

 Implemented the design on Spartan3 FPGA board.

 Design verification using a fully automated Testbench was also performed.

2.Hardware Design of Block Cipher (RC-5, 64-Bit)

 Developed the VHDL description of block cipher.

 Verified functionally and timing of the design using ModelSim simulator.

 Synthesized using Xilinx 10.1 ISE.

 Implemented the design on Spartan3 FPGA board.

3.Hardware Design of Stream Cipher (Grain Version 1)

 Designed and implemented the VHDL description of the stream cipher on Spartan3 FPGA board.

 Synthesized using Xilinx 10.1 ISE.

 Functionally and timing simulation was performed using ModelSim simulator.

Embedded System Design

-----------------------

1.Advanced Home Security System

 Built the prototype of a home security system using IR sensors.

 Involved in the analysis and design of the core circuitry.

 The code for authenticating and controlling the sensors were written using Keil μvision and the circuit design was completed using OrCAD Capture CIS.

Artificial Intelligence

------------------------

Design of 4X4 Tic-Tac-Toe

 Designed and implemented an interactive 4X4 Tic-Tac-Toe for a single player to play against the computer.

 The code was developed using C and compiled using Microsoft Visual C++.

 Artificial Intelligence and the Difficulty Level was implemented using Alpha-Beta Pruning.
