Manual Robotics - Remote Operated Robot

After learning the basics of manual robots like various motors, gears and switches, we built the robot in two days working as a team of three, in November 2019 at the Manual Robotics Workshop conducted by Robocell, CCA, with the help of senior members of CCA.

• Took the necessary measurements for clamps and holders and fixed them in place for the motors.
• Installed wire connections from control hub of the remote to the motors.
• Tuned the positions of worm & spur gears to reduce noise while working.

Collaborators:

• Deb Argha Saha (myself)
• Jugantar Mukherjee
• Koustav Sanyal

It is a basic robot with grabbing arms, rough around the edges since we beginners then.

Generative Design

Having learnt how to use the interface of the Autodesk Fusion 360 app, I used the Design and Generative Design worksbenches to produce generative designs for multiple simple objects. This project was created durng the Generative Design course from Coursera. You may see the certificate in the Certification section.

• Learnt to use the Autodesk Fusion 360 Workspace.
• Used the Generative Design workbench to create Preserve and Obstacle geometry. Defined load cases according to expected usage.
• Created the Generatve Design according to project specification, using multiple materials and manufacturing methods.
• Post processed the exported design to remove unnecessary extrusions in the design.
• Inserted the exported design (angle bracket) in the project model (book shelf).
• Completed other models.

Being a beginner project, the designs are simple ones, yet they helped me learn the process and skills in the up and coming field of Generative Design.

Portfolio Website

After learning the basics of HTML5 and CSS3, I have been designing this website to showcase my portfolio, starting in April 2021. It is still a work in progress, so expect frequent changes in the design. The site is hosted on Github Pages and you are already looking through it.

• Designed the basic content layout.
• Added CSS rules to beautify the content.
• Made the design responsive. Check it out by resizing the browser window.
• Used position:sticky for the navigation bar.
• As soon I hone my JavaScript skills, I will add some here.

It is a basic static site, rough around the edges since I am only a little more than a beginner.

Group Lead - Electrical Lab Experiments Group

National Institute of Technology, Durgapur
June, 2021 to Jul, 2021

• Led a team of 26 fellow students to conduct experiments in the Electrical Lab
• Co-ordinated Question-Answer sessions between the Professors and my team
• Organised materials and created the reports on the experiments
• Collaborated over Google Workspace to complete the reports

I am proud to say that most of my team, including me, scored Ex in this lab class.

Machine Learning Intern

Microsoft Gold Partner Verzeo
May, 2020 to Jul, 2020

After learning the essentials of Python and Machine Learning Algorithms, I applied my acquired knowledge to build an ML model that predicts the price of a used car from its features like brand, car type, year of manufacture, fuel type, kilometers driven, etc, while working with a team of interns to complete the assigned major project.

• Collaborated with teammates via Google Classroom
• Performed EDA on provided dataset for used cars.
• Removed outliers and cleaned up anomalies.
• Trained different ML models like Linear Regression, Ridge Regression, Decision Tree Regresion, Bagging Regression, and Random Forest Regression on the dataset to check their R² and RMSE values.
• Built Random Forest Regression model to predict the prices

I also performed Exploratory Data Analysis upon students' test performance data on my own at the start of this internship.

Middle School upto Class VI - General Sciences with Computer
2004-2013

I remember being praised for academic brilliance. In those days, getting near perfect marks was not a hardship for me. I used to receive storybooks as prizes at the end of every school year. We didn't complain that we had 1500 marks total papers in each term or 500 marks in each subject in one year. We even started training in computer usage from Class I itself!

No more bragging, promise!
