Projects undertaken:
 War field Spying robot:
My first robot! I had been dreaming of building a full pledged war field robotwhich can truly
resemble a human warrior but then later I understood it needs lot of research. So I started
my work with this robot. To be specific this is not actually a war field robot, instead what it
does is just spying the surrounding environment where it’d put inusing its camera. Itsmotion
is controlled by an android app overbluetooth.Good thing is Imade a simpler and hassle free
circuitso that in case of failure it will be easy to debug.
I retained the name “War field robot” just because it alwaysreminds me that I’ve a dream of
building that robotin future.
 A voice assistant like Jarvis from Ironman movie:
It’s the Hollywoodmovie“IronMan” whichpulled me into robotics. I alwayshad that fantasy
of being like IronMan. And of course if its IronMan it’s Jarviswhois his PA. Iused the Amazon
Echowhichis a PAbuilt by Amazon Inc. Immediately I thought of building my own using the
electronics I had withme. Fortunately, I found some guidelines by Amazon Inc. itself on how
to proceed. And There I go!! I successfully ported it to Raspberry Pi. My voiceis input to the
Raspberry powered desktop through a mic attached to the Raspberry. The software
controlled desktop would then process my request and the reply over the speaker attached
to the Raspberry. It was able answer all my questions fluently and also play music and
interact with me; of course not at all par with Jarvis but it was nice experience while in
debugging softwareslike Node.Js, Javaand Linux commands.
 Ultrasonic mapmaker using Arduino and MatLab:
Well this is what the name itself says. Using Arduino, breadboard, Servo motor, Ultrasonic
sensor (whichis the main culprit to detect objects) and MatLab and of course a bit of coding
the Matlab on PC showed the map of an object (physical characteristics) which is at a
maximum distance of 2m. More powerful sensors could be used for greater distance and
greater efficiency.
 IOT withRaspberry Pi and Arduino:
And this was my first IOT project! although it was not a big one, howeverit was a nice try. I
used both of my most loveable embedded/electronic systems- Arduino and Raspberry. Itwas
more of playing with Pythonscript to control the LED on Arduino using Raspberry.
One more IOT that workedupon was “Webinterface for Raspberry to control
LED through web”. In this I was able to control 8 LED’s (On/Off) in connection with
Raspberry through a webinterface from anywhere.
Projects under works:
A programmable 4axis robotic arm:
This is the first mecha-electronics project I started working. The aim was to build a 4 axis
robot that can be easily controlled by programmed commands using Arduino. I wanted to
build this at very,minimum cost so I bought Writing Pad and cut into desired shape to form
hind arm and fore arm of the robotic arm, a plastic material as gripper and a light wood for
the base and servo motors for movements. I simulated the entire circuit, wrote the Arduino

codeand started building the robot.But at the end unfortunately it failed. Iknew the material
pad was not a good choice yet I wanted to try. Then I thought of going for plastic or acrylic
sheet but I halted the project for time being, hope I succeed the next time I start again.
 Brainwaves ControlledAutomation:
This is the most excited and wonderfulproject that I’m interested in. That means I’ve not yet
started the build because stilldoing study onit. Theaim of the projectisto use thebrainwaves
generated by our brain to control the things. Well it looks like this is the ultimate step to
become IRONMAN (My INSPIRATIONforever).Onebiggest medical advantage of this is with
this we can develop the ability of controlling our brain to avoid distress and other negative
thoughts and many more advantages it has. To sum it up as of now I’m thinking of doing 3
things with this project:
1) Control the movements of a robot
2) Control the mouse of computer
3) Control the lights in home(On/off)
