                                                                                                            Dec 2016 – Feb 2017

1. Designing controller for Wall follower robot
2. Implementation of the controller using Arduino Uno

  •  Reverse Engineering axisymmetric models on DAVID SLS 2, SENSE 3D
                                                                                                            May 2018 – July 2018

Reverse engineering the Cylindrical models using DAVID SLS-2, SENSE 3D optimizing the design for Fused Deposition Modeling
  •  Vibration Analysis on partially filled Horizontal tubes
                                                                                                                Jan 2018 – April 2018 

Conducted an experiment with partially
filled horizontal tubes. The results are modeled with ANSYS to understand the magnitude of
impacts of vibration at different points of application and the behavior of particles at the
boundary.
