Shikher Verma - My Territory

Here is the part where I am supposed to describe myself ! After 2 hours of intense staring competition with my laptop, this is what I came up with.

Hi, I am a physics major who believes in the philosophy of open source and will be happy to collaborate with you on any interesting project. When not staring at some code you could find me in the chess club solving chess puzzles or at the basketball field shooting 3 pointers :)

Here's the stuff I've yet to disavow.

AUV

AUV

VARUN is the name of the autonomous underwater vehicle being developed by a team of undergraduate students under Robotics Club IIT Kanpur. I have spend more time on this that all the other projects (other that huracan) combined. Headover to auv-iitk.github.io for more details. We are using ROS and OpenCV for making the robot runs autonomously. All source code is open source and can be accessed at github.com/auv-iitk.
