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.
