Projects
Modeling and Control of Tracked Mobile Robot with Active Articulated Crawler on 3D Terrain
Master’s Degree The basic idea explored in this research is to control a search and rescue robot moving on uneven
Project terrains in an adaptable manner and simulate it on NIST standard arenas in a virtual environment.
Objectives of this research are as follows:
 Modeling of a Tracked mobile robot with active articulated crawler.
 To make robot capable of moving efficiently in uneven 3D terrain using skid-steered drive
 To develop closed loop control of robot along with the adaption of crawler to account for
robot motion on stairs and pitch-ramps.

Design & control of 5 DOF pick and Place Robotic arm:

Bachelor’s Degree 5 Degrees of freedom robotic arm was designed in SolidWorks and its simulation was also done on
Project MATLAB & simulink. This design was further deployed as a robotic manipulator capable of pic and
place operation. User interface for control of Robotic arm was built and it was controlled through
computer.

XROAC (eXtreme Robust Optimal Adaptive Control) of Car on a Hill system:

Purpose of this project was to design control methodology for an automatic vehicle to make it insensitive
to external disturbances so that it can estimate unmeasured states, track a reference without actuator
Other Projects
saturation and estimate, reproduce disturbances and estimate the terrain grade angle.

Smart metering system for domestic water distribution systems using wireless sensor networks:
This research was an effort in collaboration with KICS UET Lahore to develop a smart metering and
monitoring system in Pakistan. A wireless sensor network system using NFR24l01 was proposed for
smart metering of domestic water usage at water distribution level to provide an opportunity to monitor
water consumption variables remotely in real time.
 Design & simulation of mobile robot printer for fabric:
Working on design and simulation of a novel smart mobile robot printer, using differential drive
platform, image processing, feedback control and posture stabilization techniques to do calligraphy on
a smooth surface.

Automation of multi-legged pneumatic robot:

An implementation of automation of a six-Legged Robot using pneumatics was developed in this study.
Single leg of robot consisting a pantograph type mechanism is simulated on FESTO training bench, PLC
and MATLAB Sim-mechanics for proper gait pattern and motion of robot on uneven surfaces. In addition
to these design

Method and apparatus for yarn length measuring devices (Patent filed):
A humidity sensor based device is prepared for non-contact measurement of yarn length/ speed in textile
industries.

Other academic projects and contributions were:

 Humanoid robots object grasping and manipulation learning by demonstration.
 Data analysis for Tendon stiffness measurement using Laser Doppler Vibrometer
 Multiple damage detection in beams using displacement mode shapes
 Implementation of control methods on non-holonomic mobile robot in MATLAB
 GUI based Puma 560 robot and its simulation analysis using MATLAB
 Face recognition using MATLAB
 Security code lock & Temperature Control using Microcontroller PIC18f452
 Medical Expert system using Strawberry PROLOG
