Selected Works

Monocular Depth-Aware AI

  • Built a system integrating YOLO for real-time object detection, MiDaS for monocular depth estimation, and a ToF sensor for absolute distance measurement.
  • Designed an affordable alternative to LiDAR for industrial and field applications by combining AI-driven depth maps with physical sensor data, enabling robust performance without reliance on expensive LiDAR systems.
  • The fusion improves detection accuracy in challenging conditions where vision-only or sensor-only methods fall short.

ANN Transmission Line Fault Analysis

  • Generated a synthetic dataset of 10,000+ samples in MATLAB/Simulink, modeling diverse leakage fault conditions to create a robust foundation for a machine learning solution.
  • Developed and trained an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) using Python and Scikit-learn to classify fault types and precisely predict their location from simulated electrical signal data.
  • Achieved an 82% prediction accuracy on the test dataset, proving the model's effectiveness for creating a rapid, data-driven fault detection system to enhance power grid reliability.

Vision-Guided Docking for AGV

  • Developing a vision-guided wireless charging system for AGVs using OpenCV and ArUco marker detection, enabling precise autonomous docking and alignment of receiver/transmitter coils.
  • Implementing real-time feedback control with PID-based correction, improving charging efficiency and reducing coil misalignment errors by ensuring accurate AGV positioning.
  • Edge AI Deployment for edge processing, leveraging computer vision and lightweight algorithms for reliable, low-latency execution in industrial environments.

Panda File Transfer Protocol

  • Developed Panda File Transfer Protocol using Python socket programming, implemented multi-threading and AES-256 encryption for secure, real-time file transfer across platforms.
  • Developed a GUI with automated key exchange and network stability features, ensuring smooth, secure file transfers across different operating systems.

IoT Agricultural Monitoring (Agri Apptoid)

  • Developed a real-time environmental monitoring system using Node MCU (Wifi SoC) with integrated temperature, humidity, and moisture sensors to gather and transmit farming data.
  • Created software integrated with the IoT hardware, enabling users to remotely monitor crop conditions and facilitating direct sales from farmers to streamline the supply chain.

Sewage AID

  • Developed a sewage cleaning solution that detects blockages in drainage pipes, triggers a servo motor to clear the obstruction, and adjusts its movement based on real-time feedback.
  • Implemented IR sensors for obstacle detection and ultrasonic feedback to enable adaptive navigation, ensuring continuous operation with precise control using the Node MCU.
