Most Recent Work Experience

Research  Assistant

May 2022 - Present

Skills: Modeling and Simulation · Robot Operating System (ROS) · Mobile Robotics · Robot Control · Visual Perception · Field Mapping · Hardware Support · 3D Prototyping · Python (Programming Language).

This project revolves around coordinated multi-robot terrain estimation and exploration using wheeled robots/rovers that are coupled together serially via a tether. For more details, please click on this link. Here I

  • Implemented controls, visual perception and field mapping tasks by integrating NVIDIA Jetson Nano, depth cameras/sensors and other hardware components with ROS.

  • Prototyped various ground rover designs (using Solidworks) & performed simulations using ROS, Gazebo and Python.

I assist in the analysis of remotely sensed data/images which are used to support planetary science research and NASA mission operations (Psyche Mission - https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/missions/psyche). I also provide assistance with Systems Engineering tasks.

  • Aided with additional mechanical focused tasks like SAR write-ups, presentations, leading meetings, etc.

  • Worked with other subteams to integrate our work with their designs and standards

Individual Project : Multi-Rover System for Mars Exploration

Course : Multi-Robot Systems

October 2021 - December 2021

The goal of this project was to create a system that would enable highly-productive, semi-autonomous coordination between multiple robots for Mars exploration.

  • I documented mathematical models and prepared simulations for four-wheel and six-wheel rovers’ motion over different terrain situations using MATLAB.

  • Demonstrated leader follower formation control with obstacle avoidance using Robotarium libraries in MATLAB.

  • Re-illustrated all above-mentioned properties on WEBOT software using C++  for controller code.               

Team Project : National Science Foundation - CPS Challenge

Course : Autonomous Exploration Systems

Related to DREAMS Lab Project :
Exocam (www.exocam.io/)

January 2022 - July 2022

The project aims at competing in the NFS-2022 challenge hosted by Cyber Physical Systems, which is themed around a NASA TestFlight’s project, Lunar Exocam. The objective is to simulate and develop a multirotor drone which would be used to throw a sensor probe outside a perimeter so that it could be imaged as it landed.

MY BACKGROUND

WhatsApp Image 2023-06-01 at 11.23.12 AM.jpeg

I am an enthusiastic Mechanical Engineer with professional experience in designing, simulation, and execution of hands-on hardware development skills. I completed my Master's degree in Robotics and Autonomous Systems at Arizona State University, Tempe, specializing in Controls and Mechanical Engineering. I achieved a final GPA of 3.83 out of 4.

 

I have 2 years of professional experience in designing and development of numerous robotic systems, including autonomous vehicles and automated assembly systems. I like working on cross-functional projects that include controls, robotic hardware, perception, systems engineering, and other related areas.

I'd love to hear from you.
