Research Projects

Integration of 5DT Data Gloves with Unreal Engine 4

SAVR Lab, Department Industrial Engineering and Management

Duration: October 2017 - March 2018

IIT Kharagpur

  • Developed an Unreal Engine plugin for 5DT Data Gloves 14 Ultra.

  • The Data Gloves record precise joint angles of the user’s hands and the plugin serves as an interface that reenacts those motions on virtual hands inside Unreal Engine for manipulating objects inside a virtual environment.

VirtualKGP Simulator for Autonomous Driving

SAVR Lab, Department Industrial Engineering and Management

Duration: August 2017 - December 2017

IIT Kharagpur

  • Used AI Agent Simulation and open-source Unreal Engine plugins for Python, Tensorflow and OpenCV to train self-driving cars inside a simulated model of the IIT Kharagpur campus called VirtualKGP.

  • Prototyped a multi-agent simulator capable of training self-driving cars using Deep Reinforcement Learning.

  • The developed simulator is capable of testing and validation of the entire perceive-plan-act pipeline for autonomous driving.

Virtual ISE

SAVR Lab, Department Industrial Engineering and Management

Duration: July 2017 - September 2017

IIT Kharagpur

  • Lead a team of four in Project Virtual ISE, an academic project with the goal of building a 3D model of the Department of Industrial Systems Engineering (ISE), IIT Kharagpur using a FARO 3D X-130 laser scanner.

  • The scanned point-clouds and images from the laser scanner were denoised, registered/stitched and exported to the input formats of the 3D rendering softwares to be used later in the pipeline using the FARO Scene 6.2 software.

  • Next, the processed point clouds were used to create immersive VR environments using FARO Scene 6.2 VR App and Unreal Engine and virtual 3D walk-throughs using Revit and Autodesk 3DS Max.

Real-Time Physics Simulation in Unreal Engine 4

SAVR Lab, Department Industrial Engineering and Management

Duration: April 2017 - June 2017

IIT Kharagpur

  • Performed real-time physics simulation of molten metal getting poured, ropes carrying variable mass loads and extraction of slag from molten metal using Unreal Engine for the UAY Project.

Integration of Tracking Devices with Vizard 5

SAVR Lab, Department Industrial Engineering and Management

Duration: March 2017 - April 2017

IIT Kharagpur

  • Wrote plug-ins for integrating 5DT Data Gloves 14 Ultra, NVIS ST-50 Head Mounted Display, and Intersense hand and head tracker with Vizard 5 for real-time interaction.

Development of deep learning based Advisory Control System for Hot Rolled Steel Mill

Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT Kharagpur, WB, India

Duration: March 2016 - March 2017

IIT Kharagpur

  • Successfully designed and implemented a multi-modal Deep Learning Neural Network for the prediction of physical properties of Hot-Rolled Steel.

  • Achieved 14.5% performance improvement over the prior art.
