Work Experience
ASYSTR xC Collaborative Robots
The ASYSTR xC is a family of collaborative serial arms with high dexterity and collaborative features.
Led 14 projects to design circuit boards for robotic arms using Agile methodologies. Achieved production-quality boards on first attempt, cut overall costs, and enhanced functionality and robustness over earlier models
Performed extensive market and competitor analysis before designing India’s first Collaborative Robotic Arm - resulted in optimal product functionality, favorable pricing, and identifying accurate target markets
Improved manufacturing procedures and vendor selection resulting in a quicker turnaround and a cost saving
ASYSTR 600
The ASYSTR 600 is a cost effective serial manipulator where all major hardware components from the gear drive to the PCBs were designed in-house offering an optimized design which suites the needs of small and medium enterprises.
Worked on developing PCBs for the main System Controller and the User Interface Boards
Worked extensively on data analytics to better understand the functioning of the robotic arm and to make the robotic arm more robust
Implemented safety features such as collision detection that made the robot collaborative and features such as current limiting and short circuit protection to improve the safety of the robotic arm.
Analyzed and executed key decisions pertaining to electronics design, production planning, and procurement
ASYSTR 6xx Hybrid Manipulator Family
The 6 DOF hybrid manipulator is a patented manipulator design by Systemantics which combines properties of both serial link and parallel link manipulators to achieve lower power consumption and large working volume
Worked on designing the control box for the system
Worked on optimizing and improving the robustness of the wiring harness
Worked alongside teams from different domains to design and develop the product
Optimized manufacturing processes and vendor selection to help bring down production costs
Non - Technical Contributions
Helped 30% of the employees to upskill by training them in the functionality and usage of robotic arms. The training enabled them to set up and service robotic arms on the shop floor.
Trained the entire electronics manufacturing and assembly team to use design software such as PTC Creo and kiCAD.
Implemented Standard Manufacturing Procedures for electrical harnesses that resulted in a 90% reduction in errors.
