My Projects
Exoskeleton Machine Learning (Diffusion Policy)
Implemented an Action Diffusion imitation learning pipeline for lower-limb exoskeletons.
Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning for Shepherding
Trained shepherding strategies in swarm robots using PPO/SAC RL algorithms.
EKF SLAM from Scratch
Developed a feature-based EKF SLAM package in ROS2 for a TurtleBot3 using C++.
Stereo Visual Odometry
Developed a visual odometry pipeline to estimate vehicle path using stereo image data using the KITTI dataset.
KUKA youBot Mobile Manipulator
Simulated a pick-and-place action using the KUKA youBot in CoppeliaSim.
Robot Light Painter
Programmed a TurtleBot3 robot to create Light Paintings using a Motion Capture system for positional feedback.
Autonomous Mars Rover
Built a fully autonomous 50kg Mars Rover with a 6 DOF Robotic Arm for the University Rover Challenge (URC) 2022 competition.
Franka Plays Hangman
Using robot manipulation, admittance control, computer vision, and optical character recognition (OCR) to play word games with the Franka robot arm.
Decentralized Control of Swarm Robots
Implemented decentralized control algorithms for swarm robots inside a custom simulation environment.
Multi-Body Physics Engine
Simulated the multi-body physics of impacts with external forces for a dice-in-a-cup system.
