Drone assisted car parking

Fall 2018

  • It's a tedious task to search for an empty parking spot and consumes ample amount of time
  • This problem is unsolved today and I simplified car parking by making use of drones
  • A drone takes a snapshot of the parking area, finds an empty spot and guides a car to that empty spot
  • Tech Stack: OpenCV, Python, ROS

Streaming Algorithms

Fall 2018

  • In class solo presentation of the famous Heavy Hitter's problem

Non Verbal Expression for Robots

Spring 2018

  • My goal was to make robots engaging and relatable to human-robot interaction scenario
  • Accomplished this goal by enabling robots to express body language that align with their speech, much like humans do in everyday human-human interactions
  • Explored the design, implementation, and evaluation of a system to generate beat gestures based on prosody and emotion features extracted from speech

Byzantine Chain Replication

Spring 2018

  • Byzantine failures are defined as arbitrary, unpredictable failures of a process from its assumed behavior based on the algorithm it is supposed to execute.
  • To address and mitigate the Byzantine failures, designing chain replication protocols is the way to go which detects and addresses the Byzantine failures. Byzantine fault tolerant (BFT) state machine replication is a promising technique for using redundancy to improve integrity and availability and that it is practical in that it adds modest latency and can proactively recover from faults.
