Ajay Arjun Mannolkar

Designed, built and shipped DIY electronics and robotics kits as a small hardware venture in India. • Took a DIY electronics kit from idea to finished product in about 12 months by designing the ESP32/ESP8266/Arduino circuits, simulating them in Proteus and setting up remote control through the Blynk IoT platform, resulting in 50+ kits shipped with a 4-person team. • Made the kits buildable without an engineer in the room by prototyping, soldering and testing every unit and writing step-by-step build docum

Led the student team of the AICTE IDEA Lab, a rapid-prototyping lab at KLE Dr. M. S. Sheshgiri College of Engineering & Technology. • Trained students on 3D printers, laser cutters and CNC machines, so student teams could build their prototypes in-house. • Designed and ran a 3-day IoT workshop in which each participant designed a chassis in SolidWorks, laser-cut it and wired a Wi-Fi-controlled ESP8266 car, resulting in every participant leaving with a working robot. • Supported embedded, IoT and robotics s

• Built and wired control panel boards for industrial hydraulic automation systems • Learned how Siemens PLC-controlled hydraulic systems are assembled, wired and commissioned, under engineer supervision

Focus: robotics, embedded and cyber-physical systems, simulation. • Led a team of 7 building a driver-perspective simulation in Unity (C#) with Meta Quest and steering/pedal hardware: AI pedestrians, adaptive traffic, day-night and weather • Elliptical gear set with shaft axes at the focal points:
