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

  1. Saarthi (H7-Pro)

    In layout — schematic complete, routing in progress

    A dual-MCU flight controller on a 90 mm board, with the servo outputs driven only by a separate safety microcontroller.

    Role
    Hardware architecture, KiCad schematic and layout, FlightCore software
    Evidence
    ERC: 0 errors; FlightCore host tests: 72/72 pass (simulation)
  2. TESSERA

    Research

    Thermal-infrared to colour for Landsat imagery, for ISRO's Bharatiya Antariksh Hackathon 2026, with a map of where the model is guessing.

    Role
    Team leader, team of 4
    Evidence
    PSNR: 24.84 dB; Hallucination proxy: 0.024 (lower is better)
  3. ANAV

    Built

    An autonomous UAV for a Martian-surface landing scenario that maps hazards from its camera and IMU and picks the safest place to land.

    Evidence
    A built quadcopter with an onboard companion computer, tested in a tent hall and outdoors, and a browser ground dashboard. The mission behaviour below is as described in the project write-up; flight logs are not published here yet.
  4. VAJRA

    Restricted. v1.0 (frozen)

    A point-to-point post-quantum secure link between a controller and a node, frozen at v1.0 in Rust.

    Evidence
    Rust tests: 16 pass; Python reference: 53/53 pass
  5. SKYNET

    Restricted. Simulation-tested

    A dual-brain aircraft stack: a Pixhawk flight controller for real-time control and a Raspberry Pi companion for the mission.

    Evidence
    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.

Every project, with its evidence
