Designing robust structural components using OnShape CAD for the fully autonomous, computer-vision-driven Sentry Robot. Integrated the NVIDIA Jetson Orin, LIDAR sensors, and cameras into the system for real-time perception and decision-making.
Developed a ROS 2 & RViz2 simulation environment to process and visualize high-density LiDAR point clouds from the KITTI dataset.
Constructed and analyzed a MK120 infrared alarm system utilizing a 4.8 kHz modulated IR beam to act as a reliable tripwire security system.
Researched and implemented ROS 2 Humble, PX4, and MAVROS frameworks in simulation environments to support a UAV swarm platform for first responders. Focused on real-time visual data, autonomous mapping, and reducing human exposure during disaster response missions.
Architected a low-cost, 1/16 scale autonomous RC car using ROS2 to create a modular research platform for complex drift and jump navigation studies. Executed the complete electromechanical assembly and programmed a robust C++/ROS2 low-level controller.
Hatchling Team Member (Jan 2025–Sep 2025). Won 2nd place at the 2025 TURTLE Robotics Hatchling Competition. Designed mechanical components in SolidWorks and programmed ESP32/Arduino controllers.
Engineered and developed ‘EcoTrack’, a novel phototropic solar tracker inspired by nature, which uses thermo-responsive polymers to follow a light source. This design eliminates the need for electrical components in the tracking mechanism, creating a low-cost and low-maintenance solution for developing nations.
Designed, fabricated, and programmed an LED display module to communicate shuttle intent to other road users during autonomous operations.
