IFAB Project, 2011-Present (Under Dr David Bourne , Manipulation Laboratory, RI,CMU) Currently working on IFAB project .This project aims to create a semi-automated flexible manufacturing system. The ultimate aim is to create a facility that can create products with custom design in one single facility with minor tweaks. This could save a lot of time as we would no longer need build new facility. Finding a homogeneous transformation matrix between Microsoft Kinect and ABB robot . Kinect is used to find position of the job to be welded and the coordinates are transformed to the one with respect to the robot. Open GL Project,Fall 2011( Under Soji Yamakawa,, Mechanical Engineering Department, CMU) Created Bazinga man, an interactive game using Open Gl and C++. Created random smooth movements of characters in the game. Microchannel Heat Exchnager project, Fall 2010(Under Professor Venugopal G, CET, Trivandrum) A new Microchannel Heat Exchanger model was proposed . FLUENT(CFD package) was used to evaluate the proposed model and the result showed that our proposed model was able to cool the heat source in a more efficient way.
