A direct multiple shooting algorithm to solve a class of constrained nonlinear minimum energy optimal control problems.
This technique is based on the theory of approximate approximations - a quasi-interpolation scheme.
A novel way of transcribing the optimal control problem (OCP) into a nonlinear program (NLP) is designed.
AUV - IIT Bombay is an all-student team working on developing underwater robots that navigate & perform realistic tasks.

I worked with the team for four years during my undergrad, finally leading a team of 50+ undergrads. My responsibilities included:
Managing operations, logistics and knowledge transfer in a 4-tier multi-disciplinary student team.
Setting vision and strategy for the team and planning for cognate risks and contingencies
