University Startup with the Director of Maryland Robotics Center to create an autonomy module which enables self-driving capability on e-scooter by retrofitting. The autonomy module consists of perception module (Intel Depth Camera), planning module (A* and anytime RRT*), localization module (Advance EKF and SLAM) and decision making module (MCTS and Q Learning). The entire software stack is developed using C++, Python and C.

"Mechanical and Electrical Design and Fabrication of a Bipedal Walking Robot" under Prof. Vivek Sangwan. In this project, an under-actuated bipedal walking robot has to perform front flipping gymnastic skill. My role was to design and fabricate the bipedal walking robot for this task and simulate an under-actuated two link manipulator using PID controller on MATLAB.
