👋🏼 Hello there, I’m Ankit!
👨🏻💻 I’m a research scholar at IIT Mandi.
🔬 My research interests are in Robotics, Control systems, Reinforcement learning and Vision based control!
📚 I’m currently working towards my Master’s Thesis in the field of Hetrogeneous multi-agent collaborative systems.
Selected Experience
🤖 Project Contributions
I have contribute to multiple projects in my lab Vision based control for autonomous firefighting. Developed control algorithm for a UAV to maneuver autonomously based on visual and distance sensor. Design and development of a Quadruped Robot. Designed a quadruped robot from scratch, wrote forward and inverse kinematics for the same. Hetrogeneous multi agent collaborative system. Developed control algorithms for UAV tracking an AGV. Compared PID,SMC and RL(DQN,DDPG) based control strategies for the same. Moreover, I have also published papers in respective conferencesICCAE,ICRAS and ACC.
📜 Reimplementing and Reproducing Papers
I have experience with independent and collaborative research.I have implemented several research papers. I have worked and published papers with my collegues here.
👨🏻🔬 Professional Experience
Currently I am working as a Student Researcher in Drone Lab at IIT Mandi under the supervision of Dr. Amit Shukla working on Multi-agent collaborative systems.
