Jack Samuel

Lead Robotics Developer for Ola Dark Store: Led the development of an end-to-end robotics pipeline using ROS state machine, managing the entire process from order receiving to dispatching with zero human involvement. Worked with Doosan, UR, Kuka, and Dobot robots to automate operations in a dark store project, ensuring efficiency and reliability in a fully autonomous environment. Visual Simulation for Synthetic Data Collection: Spearheading robotics simulation using ISAAC Sim to generate synthetic data crucial for training advanced visual inspection models, contributing to the enhancement of model accuracy and efficiency in quality assurance processes. Led the development of a comprehensive visual inspection pipeline utilizing React.JS and Flask API implementation. Worked on the integration of image processing algorithms for weld detection, hole classification, and small parts inspection, significantly enhancing QC/QA processes within the Ola Future Factory automation project. Implemented Docker containers to automate the testing, building, and deployment processes for simulation environments.

Motion Control: Designed and fine-tuned motion control algorithms and trajectory tracking to achieve smooth and accurate 6 DOF robot movements, using Kinematics and Dynamics library. State Machine Design: Engineered and developed a comprehensive state machine, in ROS, for collaborative robots, integrating features like soft stop, human proximity, and SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition). This included the development of fail-safe mechanisms and real-time decision-making capabilities, further improving the robot's interaction with human operators. System Integrator: Played a pivotal role in the end-to-end deployment of robotic systems, actively involved in each phase to ensure seamless integration and functionality of the robot with external systems. Successfully managed the deployment of 2 robotic arms in Noida and 2 additional systems in Bangalore.

ABB Robot Optimisation with Robot Studio and ROS (Robot Operating System): Utilised Robot Studio software and ROS Gazebo simulation to optimise the performance of an ABB robot within the production line. Fine-tuned and synchronised the robot's movements, resulting in increased production efficiency and reduced cycle times, thereby increasing production by 5%.
