Experience

Research Intern (Computer Vision and Deep Learning)

Nokia Bell Labs

June 2023 – August 2023 NJ, USA

Collaborating with a team of researchers to create a Semantic 3D map reconstruction using Nueral Randiance Field (NeRF).

Summer Research Intern

Technische Universität Hamburg (TUHH)

May 2022 – August 2022 Hamburg, Germany

Worked with the HULK (Humanoid Robot Team) of TUHH under teh guidance of Prof. Herbert Werner.
Worked on trajectory generation and optimization of walking for humaoid robot.
Implemented computer vision algorithms for edge detection and horizon detection on images as well as videos taken by the humanoid robot, which further performed object detection and tracking using various ML algorithms.

Lab Member, Treasurer

Projects

Reconfigurable Quadrupedal-Bipedal Snake Robots (ReQuBiS)

Developed reconfigurable robotics snake with the ability to configure them into a quadruped and bipedal structure.

Motion Planning Algorithms

Implemented various algorithms like RRT,RRT*,A*,Dikjstras,BFS,DFS and PRM algorithms.

Heuristic based approach for multi agent path planning

Developed a novel heuristic based A* MAPF algorithm with feasible motion primitives, which imply the non holonomic constraints.

Attention U2Net

Implementation of Attenion block in U2Net architecture to enhance its performance.

Camera Calibration

Python implementation of camera calibration using Zhang's method.

Probability-based edge detection

Implementation of Probability-based edge detection algorithm to detect significant edge.

Hand Gesture Control of Computer Features

Executed the commands of laptop using simple hand gestures. Implemented ultrasonic sensors, microcontroller used to identify the hand gestures and execute the desired command on laptop.
