About Mugundan!
Mugundan is an Electrical Engineering student with a strong focus on embedded systems, UAV technologies, and intelligent robotics. He has hands-on experience in designing and integrating complete electrical architectures for aerial systems. His work combines hardware design, sensor interfacing, and real-time software development to build reliable, flight-ready systems. He is passionate about solving real-world engineering problems through system-level thinking, practical experimentation, and rapid prototyping. His long-term goal is to contribute to advanced autonomous aerial systems and next-generation robotics platforms.
Current Roles:
Mugundan develops embedded control systems for UAVs and robotics, integrating Raspberry Pi and microcontroller projects with sensors like IMUs and OpenCV-based vision tracking. He led full electrical wiring and system integration for a custom VTOL aircraft and built Dropbot, a 3D-printed drone for soil hydrophobicity testing and Water Droplet Penetration Time (WDPT) measurement.
