Flight hardware, secure comms, and space data — built from the silicon up.
I'm Vedant Somani, a CSE student at Bennett University building embedded systems, drones, and the software around them.
Selected work
-
R-01 In layout — schematic complete, routing in progress Saarthi (H7-Pro) A dual-MCU flight controller on a 90 mm board, with the servo outputs driven only by a separate safety microcontroller.
-
R-02 Research TESSERA Thermal-infrared to colour for Landsat imagery, for ISRO's Bharatiya Antariksh Hackathon 2026, with a map of where the model is guessing.
- R-03 v1.0 (frozen) VAJRA A point-to-point post-quantum secure link between a controller and a node, frozen at v1.0 in Rust.
-
R-04 Built ANAV An autonomous UAV for a Martian-surface landing scenario that maps hazards from its camera and IMU and picks the safest place to land.

- L-01 SKYNET A Raspberry Pi companion flew a 2 m takeoff, hover, and landing mission in ArduPilot simulation, and the autopilot landed on its own when the companion was killed.
- L-02 PRAHARI A learned navigation policy for GPS-denied flight that can only act inside limits verified in advance.
Other work
- 2026 IRoC-U 2026 indoor quadrotor A GPS-denied autonomous indoor quadrotor for the ISRO Robotics Competition. With teammates I wrote flight-control and sensor-integration code, built the frame, and ran flight tests in a 5 m × 5 m indoor arena.
- Undated Club drone builds My own builds in the IoT & Robotics Club lab: an S550 hexacopter and an F450 quadcopter, both on Pixhawk with a GPS mast, set up in Mission Planner.
- 2025 SmartCan A prototype smart bin: a Raspberry Pi camera and an image model classify waste in real time, then drive the lid and the category-based disposal. I built the training set and deployed the model on the Pi.
- 2023 Line-following robot An Arduino robot with PID line following, four IR sensors, ultrasonic obstacle avoidance, and Bluetooth control.
- 2026 CodeSaaS Seven agents build a full-stack app from one prompt. A supervisor agent reads the prompt and assigns frontend, backend, database, DevOps, and integration agents; a QA agent runs the whole project in a cloud sandbox and sends each failure back to the agent that caused it, not to the start. The build streams live into a browser IDE. Krish Singh built the shared memory and inter-agent coordination layer.
- 2025– Krishi Darpan A multilingual Android farming assistant, built with Krish Singh, Devender Singh Shekhawat, Vansh Mittal, Madhvi Jain, and Shruti. It gives field-level crop advice from Sentinel-1/2 imagery and ERA-5 weather through Google Earth Engine; an XGBoost model ranks crops from soil health cards (15+ crops, 78% accuracy on real field data); a quantized MobileNet under 6 MB spots pests and disease offline (80% on an open benchmark). Presented at Bennett University Project Showcase 2.0.
- 2025 Network analyzer Packet capture in Python with scapy, anomaly flags from an Isolation Forest, and a tkinter window.
- 2025 EduCon An encrypted Java chat client with private and AI-assisted chat.
- 2024 Cymbot A mental-health support chatbot built as a team: assessment quizzes with personalised recommendations, and Python NLP for the conversation.
- 2026 GTR 2026 event site The website for Grand Tech Racing 2026: a Vite and React front end with a chatbot API.
- 2026 FocusFlow A concept for an ADHD- and dyslexia-first study app: lecture capture, transcription, and recovering what you missed.
- 2025 Campusgram A campus social app: a Vite and React front end with a JSON backend.
- 2026 Agri An Expo farming app with fields, tasks, weather, and market prices.
- 2025 Disaster-One A small Flask app.
- 2025 YouTube ad blocker A userscript that removes and skips YouTube ads with a MutationObserver.
- 2026 Autotyper A keyboard helper for accessibility, demos, and testing.

I'm Vedant Somani, a B.Tech computer science student at Bennett University (2024–28). I build flight controllers, drones, and the software that runs on and around them.
My projects cross the line between hardware and software on purpose. Saarthi is a flight-controller board and its firmware; TESSERA turns thermal satellite imagery into colour for ISRO's hackathon; VAJRA is a point-to-point post-quantum link. Each one only works if the layers under it are understood.
I'm building toward defence technology: autonomous systems that can be trusted because their hardware, software, and communication were designed together.
