Deep Reinforcement Learning based Super Twisting Controller for Liquid Slosh Control Problem

IFAC-PapersOnLine

The work proposes an improvement of the already existing SOTA Super Twisting controller(a 2nd order Sliding mode controller) using Deep RL. It does so by modelling the sloshing phenomenon and numerically simulating the DRL algorithm to control sloshing during a 1-D movement of the container. This is a simulation only work which was further extended to a hardware AGV for my final year project

RL Based Slosh Control

Analysed the problem of minimising slosh inside a liquid container payload on an AGV

• Used DRL to tune robust Super twisting controller for minimising lateral slosh in a container to surpass SOTA
• Developed a hardware AGV prototype with novel capacitive slosh measurement device
• Modelled the hardware prototype and implemented STC controller on it
• Trained DDPG based model free slosh controller on hardware model in simulation and fine-tuned it on hardware

Design and development of IOT based health monitoring system

Designed and developede a hardware vitals of a patient and display them over wifi on a server

• Designed a wearable device to measure heart rate, SPO2, Body temperature and Respiration rate
• Developed a server capable of collecting data from multiple patients, displaying it live on a website for remote monitoring and storing it in a database for future analysis

Underwater ROV for inspection of Head race tunnels

Developed an underwater ROV for Smart India Hackathon 2020 Hardware Edition hosted by Govt. of India

• Designed an underwater ROV capable of autonomous damage location, debris removal and video feedback
• Developed vision-based crack detection algorithm, a tracker-based underground tunnel localization system, a P-D based depth controller using pressure sensor feedback and implemented it on a hardware prototype

Rugby Playing robots

Built 2 semi-autonomous rugby playing robots for ABU Robocon 2020

• Built 2 robots capable of picking, throwing, catching, placing and kicking rugby balls while communicating with each other to complete the problem statement in the fastest manner
• Designed paths using quadratic spline interpolation, performed localization using sensor fusion of perpendicular encoders, perpendicular lasers and gyroscope, implemented fuzzy logic controller for path tracking
• Designed dual-layer PCB for actuator control and sensor interfacing
