RoboticsBillyBOT camera payload
Designed and integrated the pan/tilt camera payload for a faculty-directed robot.
Result8.38 FPS scan-run average; 7/7 servo command tests passed.
Electromechanical engineer
Utkrisht Batra.
I build, test, and troubleshoot physical systems.
My work ranges from a long-running E320 build to a robotic camera payload, gearbox prototype, and CFD study. Each project shows the decisions and evidence behind the result.

Automotive1995 Mercedes E320
Diagnosed and repaired electrical, mechanical, and 12V systems on a personal W124.
ResultElectrical diagnosis, top-end repair, and electronics integration over approximately 46,000 miles of ownership.
Mechanical designTwo-stage gearbox
Designed Pinion 1 and Shaft 1 for a team gearbox, from calculations to the printed assembly.
Result35:1 design; printed prototype checked assembly and drivetrain motion.
SimulationW124 CFD study
Compared stock and modified bumper geometry using an ANSYS Fluent model.
ResultThe two bumper designs produced nearly identical modeled drag: a 0.25% difference.
Thermal analysisHeat sink analysis
Compared an analytical fin model with ANSYS steady-state thermal analysis.
ResultThermal resistance differed by approximately 3.12% between models.
Vehicle designScale vehicle differential
Designed the rear differential for a team 1:10 RWD vehicle platform.
Result3.5:1 bevel gear design integrated into team CAD assembly.
About and experience
Utkrisht Batra · 2026I grew up working on cars and kept taking on harder problems as I learned to read diagrams, make measurements, and research the parts and systems in front of me. My 1995 E320 has been a long running workshop for electrical diagnosis, mechanical repair, and electronics integration. At Cal Poly Pomona I brought that practical approach into robotic hardware and mechanical design. I like work where a physical system has to be understood, built, tested, and improved.

Robotics Systems Integration and Test Assistant
Supported mounting, wiring, hardware bring-up, and cross-device troubleshooting for the team robot; separately developed the senior-design camera payload. See BillyBOT work →
Independent Hardware Integration Consultant
Built and tuned 15+ vehicle audio/electronic systems, preserving factory functions and diagnosing signal and wiring faults. This work is separate from the personal E320. See automotive electronics →
