As a part of our thesis project at MATSCollegeofTechnology, I lead to design and build a functional prototype of an articulatedrover intended for underground mining applications.This project was awarded 1stRunner-Up(industrialCategory) during the 15thEngineeringCongressCODEEIX2025, under the theme "Global Engineering for Sustainable Impact."The goal was to create a vehicle that could adapt to rough, uneven terrain found in mines.We focused on:Precision control using motorencoders, Skid-steer movement for tight environments, Modular wiring and control via ArduinoMega, Real-world integration with ArduPilot for PWM input.Through this, I developed strong experience in:Embedded systems & Motor control, Wiring, power distribution & PCB layout, Control systems (using simple PID logic), Robotics and automation for industrial use.
