I am a fourth year undergraduate student in the Aerospace Department at IIT Bombay. My research interests lie at the intersection of AI, Robotics, UAVs and Controls. Currently I am working on project aiming to improve dexterous object gripping by manipulators. I like to solve hard problems and learn something new!
Leading a Humanoid team at college which can help sort books in the library and identify books placed in wrong shelves. Responsible for integrating the tasks of various subsystems - AI, Electronics, Controls and Robot Design.
Researching about RL controlled manipulation to be used to identify and grip basic objects like cylinders, based on image as well as force feedback
Programmed RexROV2 to autonomously navigate underwater using curvature velocity method to avoid obstacles. Simulated in Gazebo
Devised a novel technique to optimize the addition of new polygons in existing visibility graphs for drones. Reduced the recalculation time by around 92%.
Developed an algorithm based on network graphs which has ability of reasoning. It can answer queries based on random facts passed to the system
