Relevant Projects
 

• MATLAB based interactive music player controlled using XBOX Kinect.

This was a course project for EN.600.461.Computer Vision.[Fall 2012]  Project Partners - Gowtham Garimella and Ashish Kumar.
Key onjectives achieved in this project were: Depth Image Processing, Gesture Recognition, Object Recognition and Implementation on MATLAB based Music Player


Youtube upload of the video submition for the project.
The project was awarded full credit for meeting all the objectives

• Control of American Robot Merlin 6200.

This was a course project for EN.530.646.Introduction to Robotics.[Fall 2012]
In this project, the primary objective was to design a control function of the industrial robot, so that it can be moved from one initial position to another in two different ways:

• find the exponential connecting the current pose to the desired pose and then follow along a tangent, using the inverse of Jacobian to determine the joint angle velocities necessary.
• calculate the inverse Kinematics solutions of the destination pose. From the angles found we have to command the robot to reach the desired pose along straight line in the joint space.

This project was awarded 95 out of 100 points.


• Depth image processing and operator imitation using a custom made semi humanoid.

This was my final year project during undergraduate studies[2011-12].  Project Partners - Ghanshyam B., Subrat Rath, Sankalp Mohanty.
Key objectives achieved in this project were: Depth Image Processing, XBee Communication, Humanoid Fabrication, Servo Control, etc.

This project was adjudged as one of the best projects of the batch and awarded full funding.
It won 1st prize in a national level Science Project exhibition organised by Orissa Engg. College in April 2012.


• Accelerometer controlled bot via XBee communication.

This project was primarily undertaken to participate in a robotics competition @ TECHFEST 2012, IIT Bombay.   Project Partners - Ghanshyam B., Sandeep K. Palo, Subrat Rath.
The problem statement required us to design and control a four wheeled bot using accelerometer and wireless communication.

We were selected to represent India at the SAARC nations robotics championship where we topped our group in the pre-semifinal round.
