Mechanical Engineer

I'm Bibek Bhatta, a Mechanical Engineering undergraduate at Mississippi State University working at the intersection of aerospace autonomy and robotics. I design complete mechatronic systems — from CAD and 3D-printed hardware to embedded computer vision and autonomous flight control.

My current work includes an autonomous VTOL medical-delivery UAV (a tri-EDF tiltrotor running PX4 with GPS waypoint navigation and A* path planning), a multi-illumination imaging rig grading guitar tonewood for a CNN quality-control model, and a standardized library of 3D-printable mechatronic subsystems — cycloidal and planetary gearboxes, lead-screw stages, and custom motor controllers — built as Design Lead for the MSU Robotics Club's NASA ISAM entry.

• CAD & CAE — SolidWorks, Onshape, CFD, FEA, GD&T
• Robotics & UAV systems — PX4, Pixhawk, autonomous control
• Computer vision & ML — Python, PyTorch, OpenCV, NVIDIA Jetson
• Design for manufacturing — FDM 3D printing, drivetrain design
