  Unmesh Mashruwala Innovation Cell

  Aug 2017 - May 2021

  Leading a team of Undergraduates to make India's first self-driving car with level 5 autonomy. Managing a team of 30+ Undergraduates focusing on different projects. Started the pre-mapping localization subsystem aiming to use prior information for online localization of car. Worked on implementing a couple of control algorithm for smoother control of the car. Worked on Stereo cameras for distance estimation and object detection with spatial information for the car. Worked on various projects having iot, heavy robotics and small bots like maze solver, line follower and autonomous bots.
