Amrita Robotics 🤖
Estimated reading time: 1 minutes
Led the Amrita Robotics team through DD Robocon 2025 and 2026 with a sophomore-led design and build effort focused on autonomy, mechanical innovation, and rapid prototyping. I directed the Fusion 360 modeling of a CoreXY precision gripper, a Tri-star stair-climbing mechanism, and a 45° omni-drive hub, while performing ANSYS stress and dynamic validation on chassis and arm subsystems. This project also involved managing a 40+ interdisciplinary team, securing sponsorships, and compressing development timelines by 3 months to qualify for nationals with a fully functional basketball-playing robot.

What I Learned
- Designed and modeled three major robotic subsystems in Fusion 360: a CoreXY-based precision box gripper, a Tri-star stair-climbing locomotion system, and a 4-wheel 45° omni-drive hub for holonomic motion.
- Performed structural and dynamic analysis in ANSYS on CoreXY end-effector assemblies, R1/R2 chassis frames, and Tri-star arms to validate stress, deflection, and torque transmission under operational loads.
- Led a 40+ member interdisciplinary team to achieve DD Robocon 2025 National qualification, accelerating prototyping timelines by 3 months through structured design documentation and subsystem ownership. Bootstrapped the project as a sophomore-led initiative with zero initial funding or technical mentorship; successfully pitched performance metrics to secure corporate sponsorships and product discounts for the 2026 season.
