Developed a completely autonomous, differential-driven robot navigating using distance vector routing algorithm. The robot launched shuttles passing through circular hoops using pneumatic actuators. Was responsible for programming and code review of all the subsystems.
Robocon (short for Robotic Contest) is organized by Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU), a collection of over 20 countries of the Asia Pacific Region. Worked on the line follower module, responsible for programming a PID stabilized robot with single actuation. Including hardware configuration and manufacturing of the line follower array sensor for white line detection on a low contrast curved path. Worked on the pole climbing robot and programmed the power screws using inputs from current sensors. Helped in overall code review and optimization. The team scored a 41st national rank. Programmed a 2-axis robotic arm.
