Hello
My research goal is to build biologically inspired, intelligent distributed robotic swarms. Building towards this goal, I've worked on
swarm intelligence
,
autonomy
,
natural language understanding
,
machine vision
and
industrial robots
.
I'm currently working as a research fellow at the
Indian Institute of Science
, working on exploration strategies and resource allocation for multi-robot systems involved in search & rescue operations. I'm advised by
Professor Debasish Ghose
at the Mobile Robotics Laboratory, in the
Department of Aerospace Engineering
.
My undergraduate thesis research was on
transiently
informed robotic swarms, at the
Theoretical Ecology & Evolution Laboratory
at the
Center for Ecological Sciences
. I was jointly advised by
Professor Vishwesha Guttal
and
Professor Debasish Ghose
.
I previously worked as an undergraduate researcher at
Professor Guttal's lab
, building a
bio-mimetic robotic predatory fish
to study collective behavior and swarming in
Serpae tetra
. We intend to build upon the observations and incorporate the findings into swarm robots.
I was an undergraduate researcher at the
Center for System Design
,
National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal
where I worked as a research intern during my
sophomore
and
junior
years, jointly advised by
Professor KV Gangadharan
and
Professor Pruthviraj Umesh
.
I was also a member of the college robotics club,
Astra Robotics
, where we built prototype
Mars Rovers
. Apart from this, I am an avid
quizzer
and swimmer as well.
