Technical Expertise

Engineering ideas into reality.

My technical journey revolves around robotics, automation, embedded systems, artificial intelligence, software development and mechanical design.

I enjoy working on projects where mechanical engineering meets electronics, programming and intelligent systems.

Robotics & Automation

Hardware

Pan-Tilt Object Tracking System

Developed an object-tracking concept using computer vision and servo-based motion control. The goal is to detect and track a target object through coordinated horizontal and vertical movement.

Core technologies:

  • OpenCV
  • HSV color detection
  • Contour detection
  • Dual-axis PID control
  • Arduino serial communication
  • USB camera integration
  • Servo-based pan and tilt mechanism

Case study

Autonomous Warehouse Mobile Robot
