About Me

Who Am I?

Hi I'm Mohitvishnu Srinivas Gadde, current pursuing MS in Robotics at the Collaborative Robotics and Intelligent Systems (CoRIS) Institute, Oregon State University. I am fortuante to be advised by Prof. Alan Fern and Prof. Jonathan Hurst at the Dynamic Robotics Laboratory (DRL).

Previously, I worked as a Research Assistant at the Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Laboratory (AIRL) headed by Prof. Suresh Sundaram at Department of Aerospace Engineering, Indian Institue of Science, Bengaluru.

My primary research intrests are using Reiforcement Learning to to produce real dynamic behavior using first principles of legged locomotion. Apart from this I have experience working on aerial vehicles, autonomous vehicles, localization/planning, computer vision and machine learning.

What I do?

Here are some of my expertise

PX4 Flight Stack

PX4 is used in a wide range of use-cases, from consumer drones to industrial applications. It is also the leading research platform for drones and has been successfully applied to under water vehicles and boats.

DJI OSDK

The DJI Onboard SDK (OSDK) allows you to build powerful, automated drone applications for supported DJI vehicles (Matrice 100, Matrice 600, Matrice 210/210-RTK or Matrice 210/210-RTK V2) or flight controllers (A3 or N3).

AirSim

AirSim (Aerial Informatics and Robotics Simulation) is an open-source, cross platform simulator for drones, ground vehicles such as cars and various other objects, built on Epic Games’ Unreal Engine 4 as a platform for AI research.

Gazebo

Gazebo is an open-source 3D robotics simulator. Gazebo can use multiple high-performance physics engines, such as ODE, Bullet, etc (the default is ODE). It provides realistic rendering of environments including high-quality lighting, shadows, and textures.

Keras-Tensorflow

Keras is an open-source neural-network library written in Python. It is capable of running on top of TensorFlow,R or PlaidML. It enables fast experimentation with DNN, it focuses on being user-friendly, modular, and extensible.

Simulink

Simulink is a MATLAB-based graphical programming environment for modeling, simulating and analyzing multidomain dynamical systems. Its primary interface is a graphical block diagramming tool and a customizable set of block libraries.

Dr. JS Rao                                                                                               Jun 2018-Dec 2018

    Estimation of Realtime Speed and Tracking of a Vehicle using Computer Vision Techniques and Raspberry Pi.
  • Motivation of the project was to determine the relative velocity of a moving body using an inexpensive monocular camera.
  • Developed an improved adaptive background mixture model for Real-time tracking. This uses fusion of adaptive gaussian mixture model along with density estimation per image pixel for background subtraction.
  • Implemented the proposed algorithm on a two-wheel drive robot to track overspeeding objects.
