Dr. Ajeet Kumar, Assistant Professor, Department of Applied
Physics is the Faculty Advisor of the team. His guidance has
been invaluable for the team and the team has achieved a lot
of laurels under his guidance.
The team leads work tirelessly to ensure the coordination
among various departments and fulfillment of the deadline.
A mentor is someone who sees more talent and ability within you, than you see in yourself, and helps bring it out of you.
The software department works on implementing autonomy in
the system, and work around the bulk of the processing of
information. They implement image recognition and machine
vision to detect objects of interest from the camera feed
and also work on designing the mission planner and training
the model.
Technologies Used:
- ROS
- OpenCV
- ArduSub
Working on both the controls and the power systems, the
Embedded department serves as an interface between the
software and hardware side of the vehicle. Their job is to
communicate efficiently between the central processor and
all the sensors of the vehicle, as well as tuning of the
control systems with the feedback mechanism, also working on
the requisite motors for the operation of the manipulator.
Alongside this they also handle the power system and all the
requisite protection circuits, often designing custom PCBs
for tasks.
Technologies Used:
- Eagle
- Circuit maker
- Proteus
In charge of the main design of the vehicle, the mechanical
department ensures the vehicle fulfills the necessary
dimension constraints as well as designing the manipulators
for given problem statement. Based off of multiple
simulations, their work involved profiling of thrusters, CFD
Analysis' of the vehicle, fabrication and assembly.
Technologies Used:
- Solidworks
- ANSYS Fluent
- Additive Manufacturing
- CNC machining
