Robotics Projects
I love building physical systems that think — blending hardware, code, and intelligent control. Below are two robotics projects where I applied AI, computer vision, microcontroller integration, and 3D printing to create fully functional systems.
🛻 Self-Driving 3D Printed Car
Goal: Build an autonomous vehicle that can follow a line and avoid obstacles using computer vision.
- 3D-printed chassis, custom-wired with Raspberry Pi + motor controller
- Used OpenCV for live camera input and lane detection
- Trained simple CNN to recognize directional cues and make turns
- Integrated PID control for smooth motor response
🦾 AI-Powered Robotic Arm
Goal: Create an arm that can perform pick-and-place tasks and mimic human gestures using AI-driven control.
- Controlled via Python and serial communication with Arduino
- Captured human motion via webcam and used pose estimation
- Mapped joint angles to servo motor positions
- Designed a modular base with 3D-printed brackets for stability
🛠️ Key Skills Demonstrated
- Computer Vision: OpenCV, camera calibration, object detection
- Embedded Systems: Raspberry Pi, Arduino, motor control
- 3D Printing & Design: Custom chassis, brackets, CAD modeling
- AI Integration: CNNs for control logic and pose tracking
- Full-Stack Prototyping: From design to deployment
