Other Implementations and Projects

	Subo: ROS based robot using monocular SLAM The four-wheeled robot runs ROS nodes on the onboard RPi and communicates with the ground station computer Base computer subscribes to images which are processed to find required odometery using fiducial markers Implemented ORB-SLAM2 on the monocular image stream for mapping and navigation in the indoor environment code
	Design and fabrication of experimental setup for kinematic and dynamic analysis Designed the experimental setup to have three retrofitted mechanism configurations for institute’s lab Performed detailed dynamic and kinematic analysis of the setup using Simscape, Python and GeoGebra Carried out complete instrumentation (with integrated display) of the setup to take measurements of various parameters pdf code
	Analysis of GAN and its variants Implemented GAN, WGAN using PyTorch for the MNIST dataset. Created custom face dataset and used DCGAN to generate fake samples. pdf code
	Autonomous Drone Navigation using Fiducial Markers Used ArUco markers for pose estimation and localization in real-time in an indoor environment Captured images are sent to base PC where computation happens, and the odometry is sent back to drone using ROS pdf code
	CFD Analysis Lid Driven Cavity Problem Solved and simulated the problem in derived variable form using iterative method for both static and transient regimes Applied Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy Criteria for stability analysis, and both uniform and non-uniform grids for improved results pdf code
	Maze Solver using Rapidly Exploring Random Tree (RRT) Implemented the RRT algorithm to solve the maze in a image give the start and end point coordinates The growing tree can be visualized as it progresses code
	Helical Spring Designer Designed and implemented an algorithm to compute parameters like wire and spring diameter, the figure of merit etc. Incorporated both static and dynamic conditions and provided a feature to choose from various possible designs. Designed full-fledged standalone application in Python using tkinter with user-friendly interface. code
	Persistence of Vision Display Fabricated a mechatronics display based on the persistence of vision of human eye Implemented Bluetooth communication to change the display using mobile app Minimised the mechanical vibrations produced at high rotations code
