  Design and developed the Generic Multiprocessor Embedded Hardware (GMEH) for information processing of Agriculture Robot deployed for weed control and harvest automation. It had 8 serialchannels, 32 analog I/O, 64 digital I/O controlled by two 16 bit intel microcontroller and 1 32 bitTexas Instrument microcontroller card for running the DSP algorithms. Developed algorithms and implemented in assembly and c language for (GMEH) to handle 8 serialchannels at different baud rate in polling fashion, digital/analog I/O and data management in multiprocessor through Dual Port Ram (DPR).Developed the video tracking algorithm based on sum-of-absolute differences (SAD) criterion andimplemented on TMS320C6711 Imaging Development Kit (IDK).Developed algorithm for analog video digitization and storage in Dual Port Ram (DPR) for special-ized card containing TMS320C6711 Digital Signal Processor (DSP) processor and Xilinx Virtex-2FPG Show less

  As a member of digital control group, involved in the design and development of Agriculture Robot Line-of-Sight (LOS) stabilized platform. Azimuth and elevation control loops were implemented in analog card, while roll correction algorithm was implemented on 16-bit microcontroller using assembly languageAs a member of embedded system simulation development group, developed modules in VisualC for simulating different sensors and and testing of algorithms for hardware in loop simulationsetupAs a member of embedded system test development group, developed the tester by using PC-104single board computer (SBC). It tests the embedded hardware by sending the test code throughserial channel, records the results by monitoring analog/digital/serial 1 of 4 ports and display/printresults on the LCD screen and printer, respectively Show less
