Graduate student in Robotics, passionate about working on Motion/Path Planning, Perception, Machine Learning and Deep Learning for Autonomous Robots
1. Segmentation, Object detection, and 6D Pose estimation using neural networks for Bin-Picking parts. | 2. Improved the accuracy of pose estimation models for seamless bin picking by making the models more robust on real-world data when trained on synthetic/simulated data. | 3. Conducted various calibrations during the setup phase, including robot-robot, camera, hand-eye, and eye-in-hand. | 4. Oversaw end-to-end pipeline workflow of AF-1 from bin picking to final welding and reduced the cycle time by caching. | 5. Developed code suitable for production, including thorough unit tests and comprehensive code coverage.
Feb 2023 - Jan 2024Teaching Assistant for INST 326 (Object Oriented Programming for Information Science)
Sept 2021 - December 20221. Designed filter to filter out raw acceleration and velocities from joint sensors and cancel the plan if crossed threshold. | 2. Visual Calibration of robot joints using April-Tag - Planned motion for the 9DOF robot at various waypoints, capturing the April-Tag images through on-board camera to calculate the joint offsets by optimizing a loss function.
June 2022 - August 20221. Self-Driving e-Scooter – Successfully incorporated autonomy in the e-Scooter to drive it from point A to point B. | 2. Through the usage of ROS packages for Perception & Path Planning, map generation, visual odometry, EKF, SLAM, obstacle avoidance and various on-board sensors- IMU, GPS, Zed-2i Camera on NVIDIA Jetson Nano drove the e-Scooter autonomously.
