About

Welcome ,
The development of robots that are helpful to society is one of my favourite things to do as a roboticist. At present, I work as a Robotics Researcher at the Singapore University of Technology and Design. Contributing to the development and invention of sustainable solutions for mobile robot navigation problems.

As a robotics software developer, I previously worked at The Hi-Tech Robotic Systemz Ltd. This employer gives me a great opportunity to learn about mobile robots and the challenges they face today and to work on them.

My previous experience includes engineering research intern at Rakuten Institute of Technology, Rakuten India. Through the use of ROS and machine learning, I developed a logistics robot that performs specific tasks during delivery.

My master's degree is in Robotics and Automation from Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Amritapuri, Kollam, Kerala. Additionally, I volunteered at the Amritapuri Computational Neuroscience and Neurophysiology Labs. The Izhikevich model is used to control a robotic arm in order to understand and study how a human neuron performs a task.

I graduated from Punyashlok Ahilyadevi Holkar University, Solapur with a Bachelor of Engineering in EN & TC. Also, under the Mumbai Board, I earned a Diploma in Electronics and Telecommunications at Akkaklot, Solapur Maharastra. I have a passion for robotics as a result of the diploma that I received for my career in robotics. ROBOCON, Asia's largest robotics event, is one of the robotics events I attended during my studies. In 2015 and 2016, I participated in an event organised by MIT Pune India.

Experience and prior knowledge : ROS, GAZEBO, V- REP and also in AI and machine learning, Deep learning, Reinforcement Learning, PCL, etc. A few things I like to do are play volleyball, travel and listening to music.

    Control system design for four-legged walking robot with insect type leg using ROS

    This work presents the development of a control algorithm for an insect type four-legged robot which contains hips, torso and legs joints. The mechanical design is inspired by the locust insect. ROS is adapted because it provides a reliable mechanism for fast robot development and algorithm reuse. We presenting the control algorithm which helps to robot get stable and balanced walking locomotion in a given environment, also able to perform task like avoiding static obstacles. This control algorithm is validated in a simulation environment GAZEBO, RVIZ.

    Design, analysis, manufacturing of four-legged walking robot with insect type leg

    There are different types of mobile robots used in the ground such as wheeled and legged. Wheeled robots are much efficient in smooth terrain whereas in multi-terrain legged robots are much better. There are from single to multiple legs robots are been made and four-leg has to be found much efficient than other kinds of walking robots. This four-legged robots known as quadruped are much important in walking robots which have better locomotion in the multi-terrain environment than wheel robots. They are dexterous and agile in multi-terrain environment loco-motion. There are many biological mechanism and structure are available in nature we can use in our modeling Insect type legs are one of the structures. This structure is taken in mind to design robot legs of a walking robot. This paper deals with the kinematic analysis along with mechanical design and manufacturing of an eight degree of freedom four-legged insect-type walking robot with two degrees of freedom of each leg.
