Ravi Kumar Mandava
Ph.D Student
(Submitted Thesis)
Mr. Ravi Kumar M. worked on the design and development of gait planner, controler and motion planning of a biped robot. An 18-DOF biped robot was developed and tested on various terrains, such as a staircase, sloping surface and ditch surface with the help of the developed PID, optional and adaptive controllers. Finally, the biped robot was tested on static and dynamic environments with the help of the hybridized FMMHRS algorithm.
Vipin Kumar
M.Tech Student
Mr. Vipin Kumar developed a wall-climbing robot after utilizing the principle of adhesion, which was achieved with the help of suction cups. A mathematical model for determining the suction pressure, compression force and relieving force required by the robot while crawling on the wall was developed. A mechanism with the help of Releaux triangle was used for performing adhesion and locomotion with the help of a single motor. Finally, the developed wall climbing robot mechanism was tested in real time.
M.Naresh
M.Tech Student​​
Mr. M. Naresh worked on the development of Worm-Like Robot (WLR) that is capable of approximating the locomotion of a real worm. WLR was developed using simple electronic components like servo controlled using Arduino microcontroller. An approximate sinusoidal wave motion is assigned to the motors for obtaining necessary locomotion, once the WLR is developed, its motion is analyzed on that surface and sloped surfaces.
Deepesh Parmar
M.Tech Student
Mr. Deepesh Parmar contributed towards the design, development and experimental investigation of Flapping Wing Robot (FWR), various design parameters were considered to obtain desired kinematic and aerodynamic behavior for the robot. The robot was designed in solid works and fabricated using both additive manufacturing and acrylic material. A load-cell setup was fabricated to acquire data from the flapping using the robot. Experiments were conducted to ascertain the lift force generated by different size wings fabricated for the FWR.
Himanshu Tandon
M.Tech Student
Mr. Himanshu Tandon worked on tracking of spatial objects with parallel manipulator after using the concept of inverse kinematics (IK). In this work, six-degree of freedom SPS hexapod parallel manipulator was considered to perform the task. The task of object tracking was divided into two parts, the first one was the detection of the objects in a 3D location with help of HD cameras fixed 90 degrees to each other and the other part deals with providing desired motion to the manipulator's joints using the IK approach. Different experiments were conducted to trace the stationary special objects.
Ashima Singh
M.Tech Student
Ms. Ashima Singh has developed a six DOF powered lower-limb exoskeleton that can support 40 Kg weight human being. The gaits of the human beings were analyzed with the help of image processing and their gaits were also verified by using inverse kinematics approach. DC servo motors were mounted on the joints and controlled by an onboard microcontroller and powered by a rechargeable lithium polymer battery pack.
Abhishek Meghij Chhedda
M.Tech Student
Mr. Abhishek Meghji Chaddha involved in the design and development of a two-wheeled self-balancing robot and its controller that can help in the office environment. The gains of the PID controller that help in achieving the self-balancing phenomenon are turned with the help of trial and error method. The maneuverability of the robot is controlled with the help of a wired nun chuck controller that used a wireless serial transceiver module. It was observed that the two-wheeled self-balancing robot was found to be balanced on an inclined plane also.
Gulshan Kumar
M.Tech Student
Mr. Gulshan Kumar worked on the designed and development of an unmanned armed ground vehicle that can undertake a mission like border patrol, surveillance and to coordinate human soldiers in active combat. The developed system was having two units, first one is the control unit and the second one is the motion tracking unit. A person from a remote place can comfortably control the motion of the robot wirelessly, and the vehicle was capable of reaching the pre-programmed destination on its own.
