Machine Intelligence Lab, University Of Florida Work Values

Daily Duties at Machine Intelligence Lab, University Of Florida:

• (Jan 09– Aug 10) Subjugator, the Autonomous Submarine for AUVSI Underwater Vehicle Competition (Role in 2010 team: Electrical Team Leader; Role in 2009 team: Team Member) Machine Intelligence Lab, University of Florida (Guidance of Dr. Eric Schwartz) In 2010, I was responsible for all the Electrical systems on the Submarine – namely Motor Drivers, Interfacing boards, hydrophone data Acquisition, Battery Monitoring and Power Management. I also contributed to Integration of various sensors like IMU, Compass, Doppler Velocity Log, Depth Sensor for Attitude and State estimation, 6 DOF quaternion based Linear Control System, Hard and Soft Iron Calibration and dynamic current compensation of Magnetometers. I also designed a Passive grabber and Active release mechanism. I also trained new EE team members for the future team. In 2009, I was responsible for designing Depth sensor, Battery Monitor, Magnetic Power Switch, Motor Drivers and supporting other Electrical systems on the Submarine. • (Jan 09 – May 10) Human Powered Submarine (HPS) for International Submarine Race (Role: Electrical Team Leader) In 2010,I was the only Electrical Team Member and responsible for all the Electrical systems on the HPS which includes Integration of various sensors like Depth Sensor, IMU, Paddle Wheel Velocity sensor, Underwater Switches, Automatic Pitch Control, Drive by Wire Yaw Control, Automatic Propeller Pitch Control, Data Logging, Battery Monitoring, Power Conditioning and Underwater Connectors. The 2010 competition was cancelled. The competition for 2010 was cancelled. In 2009, I was the only Electrical Engineer on the Team. I designed and fabricated the complete drive-by-wire electrical system for Pitch and Yaw Control using Microcontrollers. The team won 2nd prize for Innovation and finished as the 5th fastest single-person propeller-driven Human Powered Submarine. • (Aug 08 – May 09) IEEE Robot Hardware Competition for South East Con 2009 (Role : Co-leader ) Machine intelligence Lab, University of Florida (Guidance of Dr. Eric Schwartz) Built an Autonomous Trash Collecting Robot and published the paper “TailGator: Design and Development of Autonomous Trash collecting Robot” in the 22nd Florida Conference on Recent Advances in Robotics (FCRAR), May 21-22, 2009 • (Jan 08 – May 08) Intelligent Machine Design Lab, ECE dept, University of Florida Designed a Two wheeled Self Balancing Robot (Guidance of Dr. Eric Schwartz and Dr Antonio Arroyo) Also awarded “Most Valuable Person of Lab” for helping numerous other students in making their robots
