Featured Work

Custom object detection project interface

Custom Object Detection using Transfer Learning

We created a GUI that lets users capture images, then performed data augmentation and trained the model using ResNet152. The solution also included a detection system, an inventory management interface, and a 2DoF robotic arm simulation.

TATA Power maintenance and monitoring robot

TATA Power Robot

Developed a 110 kV switchyard maintenance and monitoring robot for cleaning post insulators, greasing isolators, and performing automated surveillance of the switchyard.

Phys.io physiotherapy exercise monitoring application

Phys.io

Created an application that recommends and monitors physiotherapy exercises. It uses PoseNet for pose estimation and a custom classifier to verify the required pose, count repetitions, measure accuracy, and identify the next movement.

Automated warehouse robotics simulation

Automated Warehouse Simulation

Built a Gazebo warehouse simulation in which packages are handled by two robotic arms, two logical cameras, a color camera for reading QR codes, and a variable-speed conveyor belt. A web-based monitoring layer displays information about processed packages.
