About
I'm a final-year Robotics & Automation student currently working inside live hospital deployments — operating and tuning autonomous disinfection robots for Spotless AI Robotics. Most of my time before that went into ROS2 workspaces: fusing sensor data, debugging TF trees, and getting Nav2 to behave across a range of differential-drive platforms. I also work across computer vision (YOLOv8, OpenCV) and mechanical design (SolidWorks, Fusion 360) from a CAD internship at Yoi Robotics.

Projects
Swarm Robotics using ROS2
Dual-robot swarm (bumpy5 & bumpy7) on Raspberry Pi with ROS2 Humble and Nav2. Fixed namespaced TF2 frames and AMCL localization, then added zone-based random patrol with NavigateToPose and map-splitting for coverage. Building decentralized coordination over ROS2 topics, plus collaborative task allocation and formation control for autonomous swarm behaviour.
Café Butler Robot
Modular ROS2 café-service robot with separate description, simulation, navigation, and task-execution packages. Full Nav2 + AMCL + LiDAR stack for waypoint-based table delivery, with Gazebo simulation and launch automation.
AMR — 250 kg Payload
Industrial ROS2 AMR carrying up to 250 kg. Integrated Nav2 with AMCL, LiDAR, and waypoint navigation; configured Smac, NavFn, and DWB planners, with namespaced multi-robot support and scalable launch configurations.
AMR — 20 kg Payload
Differential-drive AMR in ROS1 Noetic with 2D SLAM (gmapping). Tuned global and local planner parameters for smooth path following, validated in Gazebo and RViz.
Waste Segregation — YOLOv8 + 6-DOF Arm
YOLOv8 classifying waste into plastic, paper, metal, and organic at 25+ FPS on edge hardware, with OpenCV preprocessing and inverse kinematics driving a 6-DOF arm for pick-and-place sorting.
Elephant Intrusion Detection System
Fuses MPU6050 seismic vibration signatures with YOLOv8 camera confirmation to cut false positives, with zone-wise alerting, drone-based tracking, and acoustic deterrents.
Leaf Disease Detection System
CNN-based image classification for early-stage crop disease detection in rice and wheat, with data augmentation for generalization across lighting conditions.
