- Compared three flight-controller mounts in ANSYS.
- Integrated the mounts, ran ground tests, and analysed IMU logs in MATLAB.
I’m a final-year mechanical engineering student at NITK Surathkal. I like learning new technologies and using them to build things. I’m especially interested in robotics, control systems, and space.
About me
I’m a final-year mechanical engineering student at NITK Surathkal. I like learning new things and using what I learn to build something. When an idea interests me, I want to understand how it works and how people came up with it.
Right now, I’m working on a rover and a robot for collecting leaves, both meant to move over rough ground. I’m also exploring ways to make a mechanical joint more or less flexible.
I like working on hard problems, even when I don’t know where to start. Building things helps me see what I’ve understood and what I still need to learn. I also love space and spend a lot of time reading about how we explore it.
Background & experience01 — Projects
The projects I’m working on now.
A MATLAB study of member forces and stiffness, alongside the design of a tensegrity joint.

Designing a six-wheel rover with adjustable suspension, using vibration feedback to decide when to change stiffness.

Designing a robot to collect wet and dry leaves on uneven ground while leaving the soil behind.
