DD Robocon, Winner

ABU Robocon (India national stage)

Represented India at the international final. Also ranked 2nd (2023) and 4th (2022) nationally among 150+ teams. Led a team building complete competition robots from scratch each season across mechanical design, custom electronics, firmware, motor control and autonomy, including an in-house integrated actuator at around half the cost of commercial equivalents, a wheeled-odometry module with under 4% error, and ROS 2 / Nav2 autonomy on register-level AVR and TM4C firmware.

MATLAB Winners Circle

Omni-drive robot modeling and control in MATLAB/Simulink.
