My contributions
- Developed the Krishi CoBot theme (eYRC 2025-26): a UR5 arm and a mobile robot working on a mock greenhouse.
- Delivered 475 hours of remote hardware access to 649 teams and 2436 participants.
- Researching how to make remote robotics labs scalable and low-cost; paper in preparation.
Most students learning robotics never run code on a real robot. Remote labs close that gap: teams develop in simulation, then book time on physical hardware over the internet. This work asks how to make such labs scalable and low-cost. A paper is in preparation.
Krishi CoBot (eYRC 2025-26)
I developed the Krishi CoBot theme, in which a UR5 arm and a mobile robot work together on a mock greenhouse. Teams built in simulation, then ran their solutions remotely on the real setup.
It served 649 teams and 2436 participants with 475 hours of remote hardware access.
