Cross-functional team of 30+ students under the guidance of Prof. Archak Mittal, developing India’s first Level 5 self-driving car, customized for Indian roads.
Research & Engineering Experience (Controls & State Estimation)
- F1TENTH Autonomous Racing: Engineering a
LibTorch-AcadosC++ runtime to deploy learned-dynamics HyperMPC at a 100 Hz control loop on a 1/10-scale racecar. - Adaptive Parameter Learning: Developing a GRU-based Hyper-Param network with B-spline control encoding to learn horizon-varying tire and kinematic model parameters.
- Autonomous Golf Cart Localization: Building an autonomous localization stack for reliable outdoor navigation using high-precision RTK GNSS.
- Joint Sensor Fusion (EKF): Developing a Joint Extended Kalman Filter fusing RTK GNSS & IMU measurements to estimate vehicle 6-DOF pose, linear velocity & heading in real time.
Positions of Responsibility (Team Manager)
- Budget & Resource Management: Responsible for effectively managing an annual operating budget of INR 4+ Million, allocating resources for optimal outcomes across sensors, compute, and hardware.
- Team Leadership & Recruitment: Coordinating communication between Technical Core & Non-Technical teams; spearheaded a 2-month recruitment drive for 100+ aspirants.
