Material Movement Robot
Drive-by wire control and cloud data collection for Autonomous RobotA version of this robot was completed in 2025 using PMDC Motors in 4x4 configuration. A newer version of this was completed in 2026 using BLDC motors and switching the electrical actuators to hydraulic actuators. A brief document about the BLDC version is available here. A detailed brochure about the PMDC-based robot and its data collection and UI page is attached below.
View ProjectBase Station
GPS - RTK Base Station
2025, FloMobility - BangaloreThe GPS RTK Base Station is a fully user-configurable device that transmits RTCM data to the server for the rovers to pick-up and use to obtain highest level of accuracy in GPS coordinates. The network, server information, and static/survey positioning are web-UI configurable. A product information brochure is available below.
View ProjectLifeBox
An organ preservation device
2024, IISc BangaloreLifeBox is a medical device that is used to preserve and monitor an out-of-body organ and maintain the vitality of the organ over a significantly higher period of time when compared to all the primitive transportation ice boxes. Based on terms of NDA, publicly available information about the project is provided in a brief report below.
View ProjectUSB to CAN Converter
Accessory for CAN-based Devices
2023, Inverted Energy Pvt LtdThe USB to CAN Converter is a device used to transmit and receive data between the BMS and the PC User Interface of the same. It is also capable of decoding data using DBC and logging it in a memory card. It can also work using wireless communication ports such as Bluetooth. A drive folder is available below with an earlier version of the firmware and user interface.
View ProjectEye Gaze & Squint Prediction
Image processing for ML - Algorithm
2022, CURIN R&D ProjectThis project of Chitkara University Research & Innovation Network (CURIN) processes video footage in a webserver, where a python algorithm processes the image and generates a dataset. This dataset is used to detect squint using ML. The dataset generator repository is publicly available below.
View ProjectTraffic Control (ESP-NOW)
Multi-controller communication
2021, Smart Indian HackathonThis project was a finalist (Top 5) in Smart India Hackathon 2022, uses a secure and encrypted Wi-Fi protocol on ESP32 to transmit data and gives control of the flow of traffic of any signal to the assigned police officer. An image of the setup designed by our team is available in the file below.
