I MAKE HELPFUL BOTS

About

During my undergraduate studies in Mechanical Engineering at the SPPU, I developed a strong foundation in design principles and project management. My academic projects, such as the ‘BagWati: Journy by your design’ and ‘Sign Language Detection’, have equipped me with practical skills in path planning, machine learning, and computer vision.

Area of Intrest: Percception & Artificial Intelligence in Robotics.

I believe computer vision is the most essential method of performing environmental perception, since it enables robots to execute more complicated real-world tasks with greater flexibility, precision, and dependability. To prepare myself in these areas of interest, I have completed several projects and courses, as follows:

  • Academics: Masters in Robotics at UMN (09/2023-05/2025)
  • Courses:

      CSCI 5511 Artificial Intelligence I

      CSCI 5551 Intelligent Robotic Systems

      EE 5271 Robot Vision

      ROB 8970 Robotics Colloquium

      CSCI 5561 Computer Vision

      ME 5286 Robotics

  • Projects: Portfolio
  • City: Minneapolis, USA
  • Passtime: Motorcycle Riding, Snowboarding

Skills

C++ 100%
ROS 80%
Computer Vision 75%
Python 90%
Path Planning 60%
Artificial Intelligence 60%

Resume

1+ years of industry experience, several accomplishments during my undergraduate studies, and a strong desire to work on research projects. Proven track record of collaboratively developing integrated solutions from initial concept to final, polished deliverable and working on experimental projects.
