Dynamical Systems and Control Laboratory

• Robotics Software Engineer Intern

  • May 2017 - Sep 2017

  The Johns Hopkins University • Currently, I am working under the guidance of Prof. Louis Whitcomb on the development of software for the remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV). Developed and tested ROS nodes for the Paroscientific pressure sensor, Weather - board, Workhorse RDI - DVL and PHINS IMU sensor. • Wrote Gazebo plugins for the pressure sensor and weather - board to simulate these sensors in gazebo.

  • Jul 2015 - Apr 2016

  Hyderabad Area, India • Worked on the path planning of mobile robot (TurtleBot) in an indoor environment with Monocular SLAM. • Used finite state SARSA Reinforcement learning with a modification that involved the prediction of the number of features that could be tracked by the SLAM software for every possible transition from the current state. • First phase of learning Q - Value for every state - action transition pair was done in MATLAB with RRT. Later, simulations were performed with PTAM (SLAM)… Show more • Worked on the path planning of mobile robot (TurtleBot) in an indoor environment with Monocular SLAM. • Used finite state SARSA Reinforcement learning with a modification that involved the prediction of the number of features that could be tracked by the SLAM software for every possible transition from the current state. • First phase of learning Q - Value for every state - action transition pair was done in MATLAB with RRT.
