Mars Rover Team, IIT Bombay
•
June 2017 - present
Member of a diverse team of 20 students working to develop technologies for interplanetary missions and to participate in University Rover Challenge 2019 (Utah, USA)
• Devised the passive Rocker Bogie suspension considering weight, cost, strength and manufacturing process
• Working on a new design of suspension to enhance the performance of the previous rocker-bogie design
• Performed calculation for suspension members and simulated its kinematics in ADAMS
• Analyzing the design of suspension by performing Static Structure Analysis on ANSYS WORKBENCH using the method of Finite Element Analysis
• Acquired hands-on experience of fabrication and assembly of rover-suspension.
Mechanical Core Team Member
Ornithopter-Project
•
May 2019 - December 2019
• Worked with a team of 6 members dedicated to fabricating an Ornithopter, whose wings spanned 3m
• Rebuilt the CAD design to accommodate the necessary modifications for smooth fabrication
• Supervised the manufacturing and assembly of the individual parts to construct the master assembly
• Incorporated wing twisting mechanism along with wing flapping mechanism to generate more lift
• Designed and fabricated testing mount to measure lift and thrust generated by combined flapping motion
