I currently work as a Robotics Research Engineer - Intern at Kick Robotics. At Kick Robotics I work on an Amphibious Robot where I design, prototype, and field test transmission system, navigation system and multi-robot communication over zigbee network.
I write ROS/ROS2 software packages for XBee Communication, write sensor drivers, assemble embedded components, and fabricate circuit boards and shields for prototyping. I also worked on web technologies like Redis DB, Grafana,MQTT servers & clients, ros bridge server, roslibjs, roslibpy.
My prior experience as a Web app developer, I learned a lot about professional software development practices and it has refined my communication skills and improved my aptitude to work in a collaborative environment and solve problems. My education background is Master of Engineering in Robotics focused on Computer Vision, ML & NN and Path planning, Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical with focus on Robotics, Automation in Manufacturing and Industrial Automation.
Facts
I have worked on various projects using C++, Python and ROS/ ROS2 that bolstered my knowledge of Machine learning, Computer Vision, Path Planning, Deep Neural networks(CNN) which made me an overall effective programmer & a holistic Robotics engineer.
