I made a website, therefore I am. - Bn
I’m a mechanical and robotics engineer working across simulation, intelligent hardware, and prototype development. My main interests are digital twins, robotic assembly, autonomous systems, vehicle technology, and software.
I like building systems that move from idea to simulation to physical testing.
Basically, if it moves, thinks, simulates, or breaks dramatically in testing, I’ve probably worked on it.
Research Demo
My doctoral research focuses on developing a flexible, fully automated multi-robot assembly system for high-value manufacturing. The system uses a real-time digital twin to monitor, validate, and control precision robotic assembly processes.
The project involves robotic system design, sensor feedback integration, key performance parameter identification, and digital twin development for process monitoring and closed-loop control.
4SB is a flexible autonomous battery-swapping system designed for rapid EV battery replacement. The project focuses on creating a closed-loop robotic system capable of handling battery replacement with speed, repeatability, and safety.
I am developing the end to end autonomous swapping solution including AGV robots and battery dispensing stations.
I led a government-funded project to develop a compact modular hybrid powertrain for light motor vehicles. The system was designed to operate in both series and parallel hybrid modes while requiring minimal changes to conventional internal combustion engine platforms.
The project involved prototype development, securing IP, simulation, test-bench validation, and industry collaboration. It received recognition through the NIC Innovation Award, the Dare to Dream Award, and collaboration with industry including Ashok Leyland and Drive System Design.
I currently hold the patents for the technology.

During my work with DRDO’s robotics division (R&D Engineers Pune), I worked on the design, dynamic simulation, and inverse kinematics of a robotic manipulator arm for combat support systems.
The project involved building a realistic simulation environment, developing a control interface using ROS 2 packages, and creating a hybrid kinematics algorithm to optimise manipulator movement and improve operational efficiency.

This project involved developing an AR glasses-based interaction layer and search tool. The system combined real-time image processing, computer vision, hand tracking, language processing, and AI to support information access and task execution.
Some details remain under NDA.
Some people see cars as transport. I see a perfectly good excuse to drive, race, build, modify, and occasionally break things.
Imagine knowing motorcycles exist and still choosing golf. And yes that is me on my bike.
Mainly to see new places. Also, occasionally, to be very far away from people.
I did not download these from Google. Trust.
Mostly racing on simulators, but I take Counter Strike very seriously.
I love drumming and music. My neighbours have a different opinion.
Mostly drones, computers, RC builds, robots, and cars. Currently building a home AI server so the robots can become slightly more useful and hopefully not judgmental.
I haven’t done much game development recently, but back in university I had number of games on the Play Store. A few even picked up a small Russian fan following, which was unexpected, specific, and honestly quite nice.
