Intern
Feb 2024 – Jul 2024

Created and optimized complex mechanical assemblies for advanced robotics and precision engineering projects using SOLIDWORKS and simulation tools. Modeled and refined over 2,000 components for the U‑Boat Worx NEMO submarine, enhancing design efficiency and supporting detailed virtual prototyping.

Projects

Dynamic Drone Landing

Implemented vision-based flight control on Parrot Mambo drones, enabling dynamic landing and accurate path following. Utilized MATLAB & Simulink for simulations, and to refine algorithms for stable real‑time performance.

3D Depth Estimation

Built an enhanced GRU‑based variant of MVSNet to infer high‑resolution depth maps from unstructured multi‑view images. Achieved precise, scalable 3D scene reconstruction faster and more efficiently than traditional approaches.

Robotic End-Effector Control

Designed a GUI-based MATLAB Application to model, simulate, and control robotic end-effectors. Automated manipulator dynamics and integrated PD, Impedance control for smooth and precise motion.

Gear Box Fault Detection

Built a data acquisition and analysis system for gearbox fault detection using LabVIEW. Applied SVC and Random Forest models for reliable classification of fault conditions.
