About me
A Robo-Nerd, emerged from interest and skills in Computers, Electronics and Mechanical Engineering.
Passionate and excited about cars, cutting-edge technologies related to AI, computer vision, mechanical design, electronics GPUs, CPUs, microcontrollers and microprocessors, and any innovative engineering Tech
I love staying organized and making sure I clearly understand everything I work on. I always want to be part of a team that shares a strong bond, building crazy robots together and pushing the limits of what's possible
Experience
Internships
-
Research Assistant
(Feb 2024 - Present)
Robotics and Autonomous Systems (RAAS) Lab - UMD, College ParkWorking on Imitation and Reinforcement Learning algorithms for complex long-horizon robotic manipulation tasks. Developed PLANRL, a hybrid approach that combines tradiational path planning with imitation bootstrapped reinforcement learning to improve robotic manipulation ability to handle complex tasks efficiently.

Research Intern
(Dec 2022 - Aug 2023)
Robotics Research Center [RRC] - IIIT Hyderabad, IndiaDesigned, Modeled and fabricated a novel gripper for aerial robot to latch on the Transmission line for inspection. Implemented drone simulations of gripper design using PX4 SITL, that autonomously latches onto the transmission wire while avoiding obstacles. Led 15+ hours on-field drone flight tests, with the gripper mounted on a DJI F550 and developed a tangible Proof of Concept.
