Robotics Projects
1. Warehouse pick and place Robot (Dec 2023)
Built a warehouse pick-and-place robot in a team of 3 within 4 weeks for a Mechatronics course project.
Developed and implemented a closed-loop control system for the stepper motor to enhance precision and performance.
Modified open-source CAD for gantry and gripper, designed the conveyor system from scratch.
2. SCARA Robot Arm (July 2022)
Built a 4 DOF SCARA robot arm from scratch for pick-and-place applications using Arduino Uno, stepper motors, and 3D-printed parts.
Tested and implemented both inverse kinematics and forward kinematics for precise movement control.
Followed the tutorial by: How to Mechatronics
3. TAMU Robomasters (Jan 2022 - May 2022)
Designed an Aerial Turret for a drone that can hold 500 paintballs and has a constant center of gravity for dynamic loads.
Testing, redesigning, and fabricating the Aerial Turret parts for optimum performance of ball path and better aiming accuracy.
(I worked in a team of 5 students to design and assemble the Aerial Turret.)

4. Planetary Rovers Project (Aug 2020 - May 2021)
Developed a movement algorithm for planetary rovers to stay inside a circular boundary and autonomously reach a target location using a GPS sensor and an Inertial Measurement Unit.
Conducted research on the communication system between three rovers and efficiently transferred temperature, pressure data, and camera images using the Client-Server network.
Designed and fabricated the chassis of the Robot to optimize energy efficiency. (Click for more)
5. VEXU Robotics (2019-2020)
Won the design award in the competition for reliable design and documentation of the design process.
Constructed a 15*15*15-inch VEXU Robot that collected 5.5-inch plastic cubes in a tray and stacked them in the corner of the competition field.
Programmed the Robot to autonomously collect up to 5 cubes in 45 seconds.
6. LaACES Balloon Project (2019)
Designed a thermally insulated 500-gram payload within the NASA guidelines to measure air pressure, temperature, and ozone gas concentration up to 100,000 ft altitude.
Performed the analysis of the effectiveness of $300 sensors compared to the readings published by NASA Ozone watch in the Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility, Palestine, TX.
7. Hexacopter (2016)
We designed the frame of the hexacopter. We built it from Wooden sticks and plywood.
We added a storage bin at the bottom of the hexacopter to carry loads. A servo motor was attached to open the red lid near the bottom.
In this video, I am testing the hexacopter with my brother outside our hostel.
8. Earthquake Rescue Robot (2016)
The robot's purpose was to locate human victims inside earthquake-damaged buildings.
It was a Bluetooth-controlled robot that had live video streaming.
We built the earthquake rescue robot's prototype in 2016 because Nepal had recently experienced a 7.8 Richter scale earthquake(2015).
9. Line Follower Robot (2015) (Junior year of High School)
I built this line follower robot in 11th grade.
I learned the basics of programming while building this robot.
In this video, I am representing my high school in a Science Exhibition in Kathmandu, Nepal.
