Research Projects
My research projects allowed me to explore the truly multi-disciplinary nature of the field. My research work has covered Soft Robotics, Robotic Grasping, Computer vision, and mobile manipulation.
MultiModal Soft Robotic Gripper with Variable Stiffness Material for Food Handling
Description:
We developed a Soft robotic gripper that can generate multiple grasp poses. It successfully grasped objects of a wide range of sizes, shapes, and stiffness.
Contribution:
-
Developed a novel actuator that can generate three motions. Bending, Twisting & Extension.
-
Developed a Soft Robotic Gripper which can generate Multiple grasp poses
-
Analytical modeling of a Twisting Fiber reinforcement actuator
-
Grasp Strategy for a Multi-Modal soft robotic gripper
Kawada Robotics Collaboration Project
Description:
-
Kawada Robotics, a popular robotics company in Japan, requested a system that can tell the distance of objects on the screen when the mouse pointer is clicked on it.
-
The aim was to use a teleoperated mobile robot for construction site inspection and find the distance of irregularities through the robot.
-
I developed the system primarily with open CV and Real Sense SR700.
