European Rover Challenge 2022 - remote

Level: International

Rank Achieved: 1st Place

The European Rover Challenge (ERC) is an international space and robotics competition held annually since 2014. In 2022, the competition took place in Poland in both on-site and remote formats. The remote formula allowed teams to remotely control a Leo Rover robot on a simulated Martian terrain. The winners of the ERC 2022 were AGH Space Systems (Poland) in the on-site formula and DJS Antariksh (India) in the remote formula.

I worked on the 3d navigation stack for leo rover for ERC 2022. I also worked on the docker submission for the same.

International Rover Design Challenge 2022

Level: International

Rank Achieved: 3rd Place

The International Rover Design Challenge 2022 is a global competition that challenges teams to design and build rovers capable of navigating and completing various tasks in simulated extraterrestrial environments. Participants showcase their engineering skills, innovation, and problem-solving abilities in this exciting event

I worked on the software design for the rover Abhigyaan and designed a navigation stack by fusing LiDAR and Camera data to get highly accurate maps for SLAM.

International Rover Challenge - 2023

Level: International

Rank Achieved: 8th Place

The International Rover Challenge 2023 is scheduled to take place in India from January 24-29, 2024. Teams participating in the challenge are required to submit their System Design & Development Review (SDDR) package before November 20, 2023. The competition aims to showcase the skills of university space and robotics teams in designing and operating rovers

I worked mainly on the Autonomous Task along with the general requiremnets of other tasks from the software aspect. I also worked on developing the drive system (software) for prayaan the first iteration of the Team's rover which included a 6 DOF ARm along with a science lab.

Coding Head
Worked on software used in competition, from GUI to AI as well as ROS.

European Rover Challenge 2023 - Onsite

Level: International

Rank Achieved:Top 10

The European Rover Challenge (ERC) is an annual international Martian robot competition held in Poland. The competition features teams of students, graduates, and researchers who have developed fully functional Mars robots over 12 months. The competition includes tasks such as science-driven exploration, navigation, maintenance, and presentations, and it aims to showcase the teams' skills in mechatronics, automation, robotics, and more.

I worked on the 3d navigation using stereo cameras for Abhyaan rover. Along with developing a general drive system for the rover.

Coding Head
Managed Software along with handling the department of over 10 people. Particaipated in the competition which took place in Poland.

European Rover Challenge 2023 - Remote

Level: International

Rank Achieved: 2nd Place

The European Rover Challenge (ERC) is an annual international Martian robot competition held in Poland. The competition features teams of students, graduates, and researchers from universities worldwide who have developed fully functional Mars rovers. The ERC includes tasks such as simulation, science exploration, navigation, maintenance, and presentations, and can be competed in both on-site and remote formats.

I worked on the code base for autonomy for the maintenance Task in ERC 2023. I also taught my juniors on how to perform docker submissions.
