  Robotics Engineer

  • Designed and implemented an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) that streamlined preoperative planning for surgical procedures, optimizing cart arrangement and patient positioning across diverse surgical cases. Additionally, developed a robust GUI for controlling the robotic arms, resulting in an enhanced user experience and improved system operability.• Developed a cutting-edge head-tracking application using the OptiTrack system to actively monitor surgeon head movements, mitigating the risk of unintended actions during surgical procedures. Furthermore, I created an audio application that alerts surgeons to system status changes and critical failures, thereby enhancing surgical workflow and improving patient safety.• My hands-on experience with communication protocols, including I2C, SPI, and UART, enabled me to implement communication solutions on STM32 using Easycat. • Designed and implemented an encoder-based cart registration system using an STM microcontroller to enhance preoperative planning and optimize cart orientation for surgical procedures.• Utilizing Actin software, to develop and validate a comprehensive kinematic and dynamic model of the surgical system, enabling the simulation of a wide range of surgical procedures and cart placements to evaluate system performance and identify potential risks.• Expertise in integrating servo motor slaves and fine-tuning motor performance significantly enhanced the precision and efficiency of robotic manipulators.• Collaborating with a cross-functional team at RGCI Hospital, I successfully conducted clinical trials that validated the Mantra system, improving its accuracy and feasibility in clinical practice. Additionally, I possess proficiency in quality management standards, particularly ISO 13485, with expertise in risk management and software development life cycle (SDLC) Show less
