About
I'm a Robotics and Machine Learning Engineer passionate about building intelligent, real-world systems that can perceive, decide, and act. From autonomous navigation and control systems to deep learning models that process visual data, I enjoy solving complex problems at the intersection of software and hardware. I’ve worked on projects ranging from swarm robotics and SLAM to real-time object tracking and predictive maintenance using machine learning.

Recent Works
Here are some of my favorite projects I have done lately. Feel free to check them out.
RUDRA – Autonomous Six-Wheel Rover for Terrain Exploration
RUDRA is a robust, autonomous rover developed for navigating and analyzing harsh terrains, inspired by planetary surface missions. Designed with a rocker-bogie suspension, this rover ensures excellent stability and maneuverability across varied surfaces. With a strong emphasis on real-time autonomy and adaptability, RUDRA integrates sensor fusion, SLAM, and motion planning to deliver a complete exploration solution.
- Custom-built chassis from Aluminium 6061-T6 and AL-6063 square pipes for lightweight strength.
- Six-wheel rocker-bogie mechanism with ABS and TPU connectors to tackle 35° inclines and 45° tilts.
- with Intel RealSense camera, Lidar, accelerometer, and FPV system for autonomous sensing.
- Powered by planetary geared DC motors and controlled via Arduino Uno, Raspberry Pi 5, and L239D motor drivers.
- Software stack includes SLAM, Nav2 (ROS 2) for path planning, and Simple Commander API for task execution.
- Capable of terrain mapping, obstacle avoidance, and autonomous route execution over cubes and craters.
RUDRA reflects a synergy of mechanical excellence and AI-driven autonomy, making it a practical testbed for real-world exploratory missions.
GPS-Denied Autonomous Drone for Mars-Like Environment (Inspired by NASA Ingenuity)
This project involved the development of a drone capable of autonomous flight in GPS-denied environments, similar to the Martian conditions faced by NASA’s Ingenuity Helicopter. The drone uses onboard visual data for real-time localization and navigation, offering a low-cost solution for extraterrestrial exploration.
- Implemented Visual Odometry for pose estimation using camera input and feature tracking.
- Utilized sensor fusion with IMU data for stable and accurate flight control.
- Designed lightweight frame and high-lift rotors to simulate flight in low-atmosphere conditions.
- Integrated basic autonomous takeoff and landing, along with object-avoidance algorithms.
- Inspired by Martian challenges – no GPS, limited air density, and fully onboard autonomy.
This drone demonstrates the potential of vision-based flight autonomy in space missions, tunnels, or cave systems, where traditional navigation systems fail.
ISRO’s Student Model Rocketry Challenge – Project NandiGhosh
NandiGhosh is a high-powered model rocket developed for the ISRO Model Rocketry Challenge, designed to carry a functional CanSat payload and reach an apogee of 1 kilometer. The rocket integrates telemetry, payload ejection, and descent control, making it a hands-on representation of satellite launch dynamics.
- Aerodynamically optimized rocket with multi-color gradient finish and custom-designed stabilizer fins.
- Powered by a solid propellant motor, targeting an altitude of 1 km.
- Contains a CanSat payload for atmospheric sensing and telemetry transmission.
- Includes parachute deployment system for safe descent and recovery.
- Designed under constraints and review standards provided by ISRO.
Project NandiGhosh showcases the practical application of aerospace engineering concepts—from propulsion and payload integration to flight testing and telemetry analysis.
