What have I done ?
Projects
This section deals with providing readers a brief summary of the projects in which I was involved and the papers published by me. Each project revolves around a conceptual idea which is designed, modeled, simulated and then brought to life. Rather than boring you with the entire design methodology I have provided a short outlook on each project separately. Many projects includes the sweat and blood of other members who have been duly credited.

Till then keep inventing
Novel hybrid VTOL Tiltrotor
The novel design of the Tiltrotor was presented to increase the endurance of the VTOL thrust vectoring ability of the individual actuators, enabling takeoff and hovering as a VTOL vehicle and flight as a fixed-wing aircraft.

Modelling and control of submersible multi-medium UAV
This work presents the mathematical model and control of a proposed submersible UAV. The governing equations have significant changes between these mediums, and they are coupled non-linear system of differential equations.

Design and simulation of rover for improved lateral stability
This research presents the conceptual design of a novel four-wheeled rover based on the DUNE rover architecture. A mathematical model of the proposed rover is formulated to quantitatively compare the stability and mobility performance metrics on multiple terrain conditions with that of the conventional DUNE rover design.

SLAM in indoor mobile robots
The entire aim of this project was to implement SLAM and local and global-based planning algorithms in indoor environments using Turtlebot 3. The experimental demonstration is shown along the RViz and Gazebo simulation for the simulated workspace.

Swarm based exploration in unknown environments
The objective of this research is to study the functionality of multi-robot systems by investigating map-merging and nearest-robot navigation using a case study of Turtlebot3. In this study, computational simulations are performed in the ROS framework, where multiple robots are deployed to generate individual local maps.

Virtual reality based training simulator for MIS
Virtual reality (VR) has been proven to be a great tool for embodied learning, but existing studies demonstrate a need for suitable open-source interactive platforms for medical interventions. Addressing this need for robot-assisted surgery (RAS) skills acquisition, we propose a heuristic learning scheme in a simulator encompassing cross-platform registration tasks to train individuals for typical minimally invasive procedures (MIS).

Solar energy harvesting using DSSC
In dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC), we bio-mimic the chloroplast of plants and implement the same idea of photosynthesis to harvest clean, green and sustainable energy.
