Hardware

Prototype Evolution

From an early unmanned ground vehicle to a gesture-controlled 3D-printed prosthetic hand and a disaster-response SLAM rover, these platforms mark a long-term hands-on path in robotics, assistive hardware, and field autonomy.

UGCV Prototype

2016 · M.Sc. in Information Technology · Mumbai University

An early unmanned ground vehicle prototype developed for hazardous-object handling and remote operation. This project marked the beginning of my practical work in mobile robotics and robotic manipulation.

UGCV — Unmanned Ground Counter-IED Vehicle prototype developed during my M.Sc. research.

Using Hand Gesture for Solving Mute–Deaf Communication and Controlling a 3D-Printed Prosthetic Hand via IoT

2019 · M.Tech. in Computer Science & Engineering · YMCA University

M.Tech project on an IoT-connected, 3D-printed prosthetic hand. Hand-gesture sensing was used both to support communication for mute and deaf users and to command finger motion on the prosthetic model.

Graduate hardware project: gesture recognition, IoT control, and a 3D-printed prosthetic hand prototype.

DisasterSLAM Rover

2026 · Research Professor · Sejong University

My latest rover platform for disaster-response research, designed around SLAM, field mobility, perception, and multi-sensor intelligence for real-world hazardous environments.

DisasterSLAM Rover — a modern disaster-response rover platform for SLAM, navigation, and intelligent environmental perception.

Research

Projects

Current work spans disaster-response SLAM, LiDAR mapping, video synopsis, and environment-centric robot safety.

Collaborative Intelligence for Disaster SLAM (CID-SLAM)

Unified R&D track for fire and disaster response that combines visual-inertial SLAM, multi-sensor fusion (RGB, LiDAR, thermal, gas/smoke/flame/IR/temperature), and LLM-aided narration for situational awareness. Goal: localize ignition points, co-build maps, and generate actionable summaries for first responders.

  • SLAM-based Fire Localization

    Fuse fire/object detection with SLAM + GPS to geo-pin ignition locations and track fire spread.

    Repo
  • FireVerse3D (UE5 Simulations)

    Procedural UE5 fire scenes to synthesize training data with domain randomization and sensor models.

  • VisionInferNet

    Xception+SE model (focal loss) for robust fire image classification; supports the CID-SLAM perception stack.

  • FireFormer

    Transformer-based multi-sensor fusion using DST to output calibrated fire/no-fire confidence.

    Dataset
  • FireSentryV3

    CNN backbone for rapid image-level fire triage on edge devices.

  • FireNarrator

    LLM pipeline that converts sensor and vision streams into concise incident synopses for human teams.

    Project
EnvGuard

Environment-centric risk-aware robot navigation using infrastructure-mounted cameras and sensors, Bayesian latent risk belief estimation, and risk-aware planning for proactive hazard avoidance.

GitHub
LiDAR Mapping in Autonomous Vehicle

Real-time LiDAR mapping with loop-closure and pose-graph optimization. Produces occupancy/TSDF maps and drivable area layers for downstream planning.

Abnormal Video Synopsis

Detect anomalies in long surveillance streams and compose a brief synopsis ranked by anomaly score for rapid review.

Drone Video Synopsis

Compressed mission summaries from UAV footage via trajectory-tube clustering fused with flight telemetry; outputs geo-tagged highlight reels.

NeuroLink Drive (Autonomous Vehicle)

Learning module that links perception to low-latency driving intent and path updates; explores sensor fusion and neural controllers in simulation.

Using Hand Gesture for Solving Mute–Deaf Communication and Controlling a 3D-Printed Prosthetic Hand via IoT

M.Tech project (2019, YMCA University): gesture sensing to support mute and deaf communication and to drive an IoT-controlled, 3D-printed prosthetic hand model.

Humanoid Robot

Research on locomotion control, perception, and tele-operation; early work on whole-body control and manipulation under uncertainty.
