• Worked on ROS with the Lead Engineer to set up mapping, localization using AMCL, motion planning, robot perception and SLAM based navigation for new mobile robot type.

• Setup simulation for the latest version of security robots using Gazebo and ROS to emulate robot navigation, localization, obstacle avoidance, docking and charging.

• Engineered alert systems for autonomous security robots to detect robot tilting and Velodyne blinded conditions; reduced

operational cost for the company by 8%.

• Built custom ROS drivers for data acquisition from proximity sensors (critical component of robot obstacle layer).

• Integrated critical alerts and obstacle layer to create a stop aggregator and send stop signals to the robot motor when the robot is in danger of collision, or its sensors are covered.

• Implemented and setup up low latency service cameras (using ROS) on autonomous robot to provide better assistance for tele-operation. Integrated newly developed service camera node with robot visualizer (RVIZ); reduced operational cost by 12%.

• Designed and implemented finite state machine to detect manual robot charging state with faulty joystick conditions.

• Spearheaded dev testing of navigation stack, audio, and video for latest version of autonomous security robots.

• Worked on setting up robot navigation, mapping and localization prototypes on Knightscope's security robots using NVIDIA Issac SDK to asses the feasibility of using NVIDIA Issac over ROS

• Explore NVIDIA Issac Sim's simulation capabilities to set up simulation for Knightscope's security robots.

• Led a group of three to design and implement an automated system on chip (SOC) traverse system to obtain velocity profile of test

section in a wind tunnel using a combination of Arduino and LabVIEW .

• Developed an automatic pitch, roll, yaw mechanism for calibration of hot-wires and five-hole probes.

• Developed a 40-channel data logger for data acquisition from pressure sensor rake; logger implemented using LabVIEW and

ARM M3 controller.

• Calibrated hot wires: obtained a linearized relation between voltage output and velocity of air in wind tunnel using king’s law.

• Engineered a state estimator on an embedded controller (in embedded C & ARM M3) for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).
