Work experience

• Robotics Engineer: January 2025 - June 2025
  Addverb (Website) (Certificate)
  • Collaborated on development, implementation, and testing of model predictive control utilizing centroidal dynamics, resulting in stable quadruped locomotion at 0.5-1.0 m/sec on flat terrain.
  • Utilized Isaac Lab to simulate robotic environments and train deep reinforcement learning policies (PPO) using PyTorch, performing sim-to-real transfers of learned controls onto physical Trakr quadruped.
  • Represented Addverb to demonstrate Trakr quadruped to the Prime Minister of India.
• Project Scientist: June 2023 - December 2024
  Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IITD) (Certificate)
  • Developed a Robot Operating System (ROS) based autonomy stack combining visual/audio perception with task and motion planning; demonstrated zero-shot task completion in unseen assistive settings on Franka Emika Panda and Hello robot Stretch.
  • Conceptualized G2TR, a factored pipeline for grounded temporal reasoning (event localization → spatial grounding → semantic tracking), achieving 70.1% grounding accuracy (+26% vs. baselines) on 155 video–instruction pairs.
  • Built an open set, zero-shot and dynamically updatable scene-graph generation pipeline using foundation models with focused attention – F1=0.95(+0.16 v/s best baseline), stronger relation extraction and aided long horizon planning.
  • Enhanced 3D model creation by fusing masks from visual language models + monocular-depth priors with multi-view point clouds. Demonstrated collision-free sequential manipulation in unstructured scenes with UR5 on a Husky base.
• Robotics Intern : January 2023 - May 2023
  Miko Robotics (Website) (Certificate)
  • Contributed to design and development of Miko-mini, a 3-wheeled mobile companion robot for children.
  • Performed Euler–Lagrange dynamic analysis of elliptical-trammel wheel-lift in a 4-wheeled robot; found installed motor was 30% under-torqued, informing re-spec.
  • Established that plastic-geared DC motors meet performance targets at lower cost vs. metal-geared alternatives through speed–torque, durability, acoustic, and thermal tests.
• Summer Intern : June 2022 - September 2022
  Systemantics (Website) (Certificate)
  • Validated sensorless momentum-observer based kinesthetic teaching on J1–J3 of a 6-DOF manipulator, enabling compliant cartesian motion without a force/torque sensor.
  • Designed and modeled a 3-finger cam-synchronized parallel gripper in Fusion 360; 2.5 kg rated payload.
  • Configured an existing custom robotic arm into the MoveIt pipeline, integrating ros_control for hardware communication, setting up kinematics and collision checking, and enabling full trajectory planning and execution.
• Robotics Intern : April 2021 - July 2021
  iFuture Robotics (Website) (Certificate)
  • Developed kinematics and dynamics models for a 5-bar parallel axis robotic arm, enabling precise control and positioning.
  • Conducted a workspace analysis for a parallel arm robot prone to singularities, aiming to improve its operational range and reliability.
  • Performed motor sizing analysis for the robotic arm using VREP/CoppeliaSim simulation data.
