DeepMind MicroNet Challenge @ NeurIPS 2019
Compressed NNs for SoTA image-classification. (Team Award: Google Cloud Credits x25 TPU v2)
Advisor: Prof. Narendra Ahuja (UIUC) | Collaborators: Gopi Kishan, Meenakshi Sarkar
Unsupervised Robot Motion Prediction in Adverse Visual Scenes
We're working on implementing lightweight robot-motion prediction network with real-time, class-based adverse scene handling modules (night, varying radiance, bad weather, etc.) for safe operation in intricate environments. Advisor: Prof. Debasish Ghose, Collaborators: Meenakshi Sarkar
Real-time Flood Analytics for Crisis Response by UAV (#AIforSocialGood)
As a part of #AIforSocialGood, I am working on designing a segmentation network for unmanned systems deployed in crisis response. Special focus is on robustness with domain-adaptation pipeline and reliable safety. Collaborators: Sachin Shriwastav, Meenakshi Sarkar
Mohamed Bin Zayed International Robotics Challenge (MBZIRC 2020)
As a member of the computer vision group, I worked on developing a computationally light and reliable visual-servoing platform for the heterogeneous vehicle system (UAV+UGV).
*Finals* : IISc-TCS team won the "Best Innovation" Prize and presented reports.
Mentors: Dr. Kaushik Das (TCS R&D Lab), Prof. Raghu Krishnapuram (RBCCPS)
Multi-Robot Motion Data Set (link)
We've created a robot-motion dataset using LEGO bots & Turtlebot to validate various motion prediction or other deep networks. Currently, we're working to include even more agents, complex scenes, trajectories, and plan to expand it to UAVs. Collaborators: Meenakshi Sarkar
Cyber-physical security modules for Drones
Study of hardware-related vulnerabilities of remote-controlled robots.
Open-Circuit (Low Subsonic) Wind Tunnel
Wind tunnel helps in fine-tuning the design of aircrafts. Models are tested to scale. Suction-type design and Smoke (Flow) Visualization of airfoils.
