Knowledge, It is the one thing that I value most. I love to gain it, I love to share it, I love to compile it...

I am the person who love to have fun in doing stuffs and achieving them, more likely to get succeed. And even if I don’t get succeed, still I have an enjoyable time. I love doing stuffs myself and on my way. Getting hands dirty is my style to achieve something rather than reading stuffs. I am addict of trying stuff my own and it doesn’t matter what it is: technol-ogy, programming, photography, filmography, art, sketching,fighting, cooking but it doesn’t mean I get all the success ........ I like to get into them and see if I can dot it myself.

About me

IxD / IDC / IIT Bombay

IIT Bombay, TechFest

Interactive InstallationHardware+software: This was my chore and I had to complete. I hacked the mindflex brainwave sensor as per given instruction on “www.fron-tiernerds.com/brain-hack” and developed two application on process-ing then I used Arduino UNO board to control the motors and lights.

I picked up the alpha values from recived CSV values and used in my applications and hardware control.

The concept of this installation was based on the Wrestling game where two guy try to push each other into a pit. Here both the guys have to wear the hacked mindflex sensors and try to concentrate to move their character. This was an Instal-lation which had to be installaled in the techfest of IIT bombay.

We had a group of the three member in which we divided our work into two parts setup and hardware+software

Hacking Brainwave

Theme

Concept Generation We disscused all over the nights even we worked on the new year eve and spent whole night. Here the concept generated and evolved under sev-eral constraints to get prototyped.

Setup MakingSetup: This part was done by my other two group mates. They worked on the mechanical design of the setup and made each and ev-ery small part in the lab and then as-sembled it.

Autonomous Robot TrolleyThis was my first design project and the idea of this project was influenced by th problem of carrying luggage on the airport or railway station. So we came up with the a solution “Autonomous robot trolly“ which can carry your luggage and follow you wher-ever you go. We were three member in a group and everyone worked for electronics, programing and mechanical module of this ro-bot.
