Graduate Course Projects

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Engineers | Carnegie Mellon University

Machine Learning and Feature Engineering for Artist Classification

SC153153.jpg
  • Created a CNN Model with 7 fully connected layers. Trained it on a labelled art-artist dataset

  • Got a 13% higher accuracy when testing against shallow ML techniques for 25 artists

Planning and Decision Making | Carnegie Mellon University

Multi-Agent Planning for Search at Sea

  • Used TIGRIS planner + Trochoidal Path Solver for Multi-Agent Planning for Search Operations at Sea

  • Fed in Belief Space from one UAV into the second UAV and used it to plan paths such that they would not collide

  • Visualized these paths using RViz in a custom search map, given planning parameters such as curvature radius, start and goal pose

  • Goal: Achieving Goal State with maximum reduction in Shannon Entropy without coverage of the same area

Localization and Mapping | Carnegie Mellon University

Graph Optimization of ORB Features

  • Extracted ORB features and implemented Graph Factorization using GTSAM in Python3 and compared this against ground truth measurements

  • Used the GTSAM functions and visual odometry to match points between frames

  • Re-ideated a Yamaha R6-YZF Engine Piston to reduce complexities and manufacturing costs

  • Computed manufacturing costs using aPriori software which takes a CAD model as an input

  • Re-ideation resulted in a 7% decrease in manufacturing costs

Thermodynamics | University of Illinois

  • Constructed a miniature stirling engine using a tea-light candle to demonstrate the Stirling cycle principles

  • Objective was to lift a quarter through the Stirling Cycle 

Fluid Mechanics | University of Illinois

1632243_orig.png
  • Performed fluid-mechanics calculations for a water bottle rocket, computing thrust, drag and pressure

Mechatronics | University of Illinois

  • Tuned PID balance control using MATLAB and Simulink, accomplishing optimal balance by adjusting system stability and response through state-space pole placement tuning 

  • Upgraded Segbot functionality by integrating ultrasonic sensor hardware and software in C, enabling obstacle detection
