AI-based navigation for autonomous wheelchairs: The thesis is about the Navigation of Autonomous navigation of electric wheelchairs. Part A: Instrumenting Wheelchair- Instrumentation of an electric but manually controlled wheelchair from Meyra for remote control and integration of cameras and simple lidar sensors. Part B: Driver Assistance- Testing and validating AI algorithms for surface classification, human recognition, and path planning to make driver assistance effective.

Work on Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Operation & Maintenance, and Data handling using SAP business client software, Versiondog, Excel VBA, and Python.

"Autonomous driving and localization of autonomous vehicles based on the ROS robot platform." -The work is to design an algorithm for a Self-driving robot with global and local path planning. -The evaluation and final test will be performed in galileo-Testfeld under Static and Dynamic environment conditions. Various sensors(LIDAR, Camera) have been installed to help in achieving functionalities like Lane detection, Obstacle detection, etc. -Commissioning and upgrading the RR100 robot platform.

-The aim was to save the 10MW of power wastage in the period of 10 years through survey, audit, and recommendations of some beneficial tips to overcome power wastage (Save energy-Reduce generation). -Energy audit in the residential feeder, institutional feeder, and industrial feeder. Almost 80% of power wastage gets reduced after the implementation of recommended tips.
