How many robots do we see being used in the real world today? It is safe to say that robots have practically taken over the manufacturing and industrial sector, but deploying robots that could meaningfully collaborate with humans in unknown environments remains a challenge. In my opinion, the gap lies in the complex interplay between the software algorithms, which include perception, planning, controls, and the hardware. I care to build robots and implement state-of-the-art algorithms on hardware platforms and bring robots closer to humanity for our benefit. Particularly, I want to tackle the challenges in deploying bio-inspired robots in field robotics and work towards a socially significant problem
I have been working under Dr. Shital Chiddarwar at IvLabs since my sophomore year over various problem statements that involved developing novel and robust hardware platforms.
Apart from robotics, I play cricket, listen to music and play tabla. I also spend some time conducting workshops for the freshmen to promote a technical culture in the college.
B.Tech. in Metallurgy and Materials, 2021*

A re-configurable robot which can transition into biped, quadruped and snake configurations without any re-arrangement of modules.
A teleoperated differential-drive robot to deliver food packets and medicines to the COVID patients. Doctors can interact with patients from a safe distance using the onboard video conferencing system.
Implemented a mesh network based on IEEE 802.15.4 to establish consensus in a swarm of robots. Established handshake using Atmega328p as well as TIVA TM4C123GXL launchpad.
MATLAB based program to analyze motion equation and parameters. I Designed an algorithm for tracing path of a damped oscillator.
I enjoy taking up small handy projects like Line follower bot, Designed a manually controlled mobile robot, Fabricated a clap switch, Fabricated a cell phone charger.
Implemented a laser security system with push notifications capability and real-time monitoring.
