Robotics engineer at IIT Kharagpur building autonomous rovers, including a Mars rover ranked 27th worldwide.

With Team Proboticists at IIT Kharagpur, I engineered Polarix, a Mars rover that placed 27th worldwide in SPROS - IRC ’26. I designed and manufactured its 5-DOF arm for a 5 kg payload and worked on the rover’s chassis and suspension.

For Rustee, an autonomous warehouse inventory rover, I built a belt-driven lift and integrated encoder and time-of-flight feedback to achieve ±2 cm vertical accuracy under load. I also developed its motor drive and power regulation.

In the Kharagpur Robo-Soccer Students’ Group, I produce autonomous soccer bots with ESP32-based PCBs, sensors, and encoded motors. I implemented ESP-NOW communication and PID control for target speed and direction.

My projects include an ESP32-based multirotor flight controller with cascaded PID control, sensor fusion, and WiFi telemetry, as well as a 12-DOF quadruped robot. I also founded and lead operations for Team Proboticists, where I built a 40+ member robotics team.
