Summer Internship at IIT Indore 

Guide: Prof. Dr. I.A.Palani (Mechatronics and Instrumentation lab, IIT Indore) 

Developed a robotic arm-based automated pinning system. Simulated the industrial automation process in Webots using the IPR Robotic Arm with controller code written in C. Implemented image processing techniques to perceive the orientation of pins, for the arm to align its grippers before successful autonomous grasping.

National Robotics Competition Flipkart Grid

Designed and simulated the Stair Climbing Robot in Solidworks having an Arduino and linear actuator-based payload stabilizing mechanism. Implemented Kinect and Raspberry Pi-based autonomous stair detection. Finally, after running different analyses, a simulation was developed for a basic model using Webots. 

Jadavpur University

Guide: Dr. Saikat Mookerjee 

Developed a plant model using Simulink for controlling a directional control valve with voltage inputs that will eventually control the motion of the actuator piston. Designed the controller for precise force control and motion control combining features of both a PID controller and a Feedforward controller. 

Jadavpur University

Guide: Prof. Dr. Sumanta Neogi 

Worked on simulation of equations of motions with graphs of different dynamic quantities and created 3D visualizations of a multi-body dynamical system using SymPy and PyDy packages from Python implementing Kane’s Method.

Research Project 

Airbus Day Innovation Challenge

The primary aim of the concept was to give aircraft pilots the freedom to maneuver between increase or decrease of stability and controllability of an aircraft while trying to lower the fuel consumption by lowering drag at different stages of a flight taking inspiration from a sailfish’s dorsal fin. Conceptualized the use of flexible material (electroactive polymers) and actuators to modify the existing tail design. 

National Robotics Competition Philips Code 2 Care

C-arm is a widely used device for taking X-ray images in operation theaters. Generalized the motion of a C-arm inside an OT and conceptualized the integration of different sensor data (wheel encoder, IMUs, and accelerometer) to assist the user in repositioning the C-arm to a previously positioned coordinate in OT. Also conceptualized the design of a real-time interactive user interface for guidance in repositioning.
