PROJECTS

VIRTUAL MODEL OF MAKI [9/12–PRESENT] 

[Prof. Maja J Matarić and Brian Kohan, University of  Southern California, Los Angeles]

  • Developing a virtual model of a robot “Maki”, which entails creating a URDF file in ROS for mplementing child-robot empathetic interaction.

 

POSE AND POSITION ESTIMATION USING STEREO IMAGES [6/09- 8/09]

[Mr.G.V.P. Bharat Kumar Scientist -E Control Systems Group, Indian Space Research Organization]

  • Aim: To estimate pose and position a robot using stereo set of images

  • Nature of work: Developed a method to estimate pose and position. For estimating pose, used a quaternion estimator algorithm and a minimum of 3 common feature points between a set of stereo images taken in two time frames. For estimating position, solved a system of quadratic equation in three variables and a minimum of 4 common feature points between a set of stereo images taken in two time frames.

  • Har dware: A Stereo-Setup 

  • Software:  Matlab

TAGBEE- A WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK BASED LASER TAGGING GAME - MAJOR PROJECT [1/11 - 5/11]

[DR. Mayank Dave, HOD Computer Engineering Department, National Institute of Technology Kurukshetra]

  • Aim: To build a wireless sensor network based laser tagging game

  • Nature of work: A  WSN  was  de ve loped  to  de monstrate laser  tag and a web  front- end was used to  reg is ter  players and show  the game  de ta ils. Used Arduino, Xbee(Zigbee based) for developing the motes used in the tagging device. Used Java, SQL and Apache server for web application

  • Hardware: Arduino Duemilanove, Xbee, IR sensors, lasers.

  • Software:  Arduino IDE, JAVA, SQL, HTML

 

A LOW COST SYSTEM FOR TARGETING IN 3D USING STEREO VISUAL SERVOING – MINOR PROJECT [8/10 - 12/10]

[DR. Mayank Dave, HOD Computer Engineering Department, National Institute of  Technology Kurukshetra]

  • Aim: To pinpoint a target in 3D using two laser beams based on the position estimated by the stereo - setup

  • Nature of work: Sta rting from camera setup and calibration, correspondence, reconstruction, position estimation to transformation of coordinates to servo angles, the project involved  dev elopm ent  of  a  GUI and hardware setup for 2DOF servo  setup,  stereo- setup and the  control of the lasers  and  the servos using arduino.

  • Hardware: Arduino Mega 1280, Servos, lasers, web- cameras

  • Software: Matlab- Camera Calibration Toolbox, Arduino IDE
