2024; Robot Control: Friction Model, DOB and Residual Observer
About the Project I took a course called EE683: Robot Control by Professor Min Jun Kim at KAIST during my 2nd semester. One good thing about the course was the bi-weekly assignment which had one specific part where the students were free to implement any algorithm and provide simulation results. I ended up implementing a lot of the techniques and models learned in the course. These are a series of blog posts that cover some of those sections since I felt like it was worth sha

2020; MoPAT Mk. V: Motion Planning Algorithms Testbed (EE Dept. IITG)
- Guided by Dr. Gaurav Trivedi and Dr. Hanumant Singh Shekhawat Introduction If you read research papers on motion planning or swarm robotics, you would often find that these are performed in controlled environments where complete information of the agents/robots can be obtained easily. While working with Reinforcement Learning simulations, I found the lack of pre-built environments and agents to be quite a drawback for real world testing. Also, the current systems like Vicon

2019; DIC Terrace Farming Challenge (8th Inter IIT Tech Meet)
Introduction TL; DR: https://github.com/otoshuki/DIC-Terrace-Farming-Challenge This was my second Inter IIT experience at IIT Roorkee in 2019 during my junior year. This was another project I worked on concurrently with Zenith during the same time. This dealt with an autonomous agricultural robot specifically for terrace farming in remote locations for Design Innovation Center (DIC) . The project was handled mainly by Robotics Club, IITG, where the major work was done by th
