Volunteering
-
Engaging with the Robocell Club from 2017 to 2019, I actively contributed to various innovative projects, showcasing my passion for robotics and technology. I led the design of a Quadcopter with minimal features, utilizing Arduino, and crafted a single actuated robotic arm prototype, incorporating two degrees of freedom for motion and object manipulation. Additionally, I developed a Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/DTMF controlled robot prototype and conducted informative workshops for junior members. Taking on leadership roles, I served as the Head of Robocell, driving the club's activities and fostering a collaborative environment. I also coordinated events as the Junior Fest Coordinator for AAROHAN-2018 and later as the Senior Fest Coordinator for AAROHAN-2019, the Techno Management Fest at NIT Durgapur's Centre for Cognitive Activities. This volunteering experience allowed me to hone my leadership, technical, and communication skills, while also contributing to the growth and development of both the robotics community and the larger academic institution.
