A. Research Project
[1] Design of autonomous micro air vehicle under national program on micro air vehicles
The main aim of the project (funded by DRDO) was to develop a fixed-wing micro air vehicle (size < 150 mm) having the capability of autonomous navigation and vision-assisted navigation. A non-conventional biplane configuration, called ''SKYLARK", is developed and autonomous waypoint navigation is successfully performed. The MAV is equipped with microprocessor-based autopilot (16 g) to perform vision-assisted navigation.
[2] Development of autonomous hybrid swarms
The main aim of the project (funded by Intel) was to develop an algorithm framework for complex multi-agent collaborative missions. Algorithms are developed for exploration, tracking, 3D reconstruction using multiple agents and the overall system is developed in a hierarchical software framework. The swarm architecture is tested using ground and aerial bots.
[3] Development of guidance algorithms and software architecture for the different missions of Mohamed Bin Zayed International Robotics Challenge (MBZIRC-2020)
The overall challenge involves capturing an object from an unknown target drone, balloon popping using drones, brick wall construction using aerial and ground vehicles. The algorithms like autonomous grabbing, tracking, popping, pick and place are first tested in ROS- Gazebo framework, and then tested in an outdoor environment. Our team (IISc-TCS) ranked 9th in the final round of overall grand challenge.
[4] Development of trajectory simulation software for ballistic object
In this project we have developed trajectory simulation software for national missile defense systems.
[5] Development of prediction and prescription model for management of COVID-19 (XPrize Pandemic Response Challenge)
The first phase of the competition was to develop a prediction model of COVID-19 for approximately 200 different regions of the world and the second phase was to develop an optimal non-pharmaceutical interventions plan which will reduce the spread of COVID-19 as well as economic impact. Our team (IISc-GCDSL) selected for the final round.
[6] Development of autonomous CORRIDRONE: Corridor for drones
The main aim of the project is to develop (funded by RBCCPS, IISc) an autonomous architecture for UAV traffic management including corridor/lane design, geofence and conflict resolution.
[7] Emergency flood planning and management using unmanned aerial system.
The main aim of the project (funded by EPSRC) was to develop a Decision Support System (DSS) for flood management. A hierarchical resource and task allocation architecture are proposed for the allocation of resources considering the hierarchical structure of the government. The proposed framework is implemented in software in collaboration with TCS.
[8] Disaster preparedness, rescue operations and damage assessment using UAVs
In this project, we developed the overall system architecture necessary for preparedness, rescue operation, resource allocation, and damage assessment using UAVs during cyclones/floods. The specification required for effective and safe UAV operations in the pre-disaster and post-disaster scenarios is developed. Mission planning required for various rescue, relief, and damage assessment missions related to disaster management is developed. The outcomes of this project can help disaster management authorities to develop UAV systems specifically to cater to flood/cyclone operations. The proposed framework is developed in collaboration with Humanitarian Aid International (HAI).
B. Engineering Project
[1] Design and execution of Water Treatment Plant (WTP)
Contributed to the design of water retaining structures like the water tank, sand filter; and execution of the complete projet.
[2] Execution of refinery Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP)
Conributed to the execution of steel structures like big oil tank, column; bored and driven piles.
