Participated Competitions with Aerial Robotics IITK
Inter-IIT competitions are national level competition, in which Top IIT's of India compete with their team.
Inter-IIT 2019 D.R.D.O UAV Fleet challenge
The problem statment invloved detection and accurate estimation of coloured boxes placed in an unseen environment with the help of multiple UAVs.
Our team won first prize nationwide
Developed a robust vision-based drone landing system on the color box, with a precise object tracking technique
Designed kalman estimation to track the object smoothly.

Inter-IIT 2018 Pluto-X hackathon
The challenge is to design a wall following quadcopter
Our team won second prize nationwide
Worked on an embedded quadcopter module fitted with sonar sensors for autonomous movement.
Developed a position controller for drone navigation along the wall, robust to outlier sensor noises.
