      Project 1: Motion Planning and Control of swarm of mini-drones - Developed a simulator for a swarm of mini-drones which can fly in close proximity in an indoor environment. - Implemented a Hamiltonian path planning algorithm for the swarm of drones. - Currently performing physical drone tests to analyse the effect of down-wash (or wake) of the drones over one another. Project 2: Motion planning of multi-agent micro-scaled robots - Developed a simulation for a swarm of micro-scaled robots, designing local – rules for a de-centralised multi-agent system using Python. - Developing and testing macro-scaled prototype of the micro-bot to understand the dynamics of the robot.

      Worked in the designing team for a Solar powered Grid Tied System mainly focusing on the control aspect which involved MPPT algorithms to extract maximum power from the panels and also on algorithms that would be used for stabilization and synchronization of the supply obtained from the solar panels before connecting it to the grid. Algorithms were also developed to detect and rectify faults detected in the grid connection. Conceptualization and Matlab/Simulink simulation was done for the same.
