What is Project Varuna ?
Welcome to Project Varuna, an innovative ecosystem grounded in my research on Koopman Operator Theory.
My mission with Project Varuna is to develop a versatile platform for the data-driven modeling and control of autonomous vehicles across various scales and operating conditions, whether on-road or off-road.
But why Project "Varuna", and what sets it apart in the well-established field of autonomous Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs)? Click "Discover More" to find out!

Impact
State-of-the-Art Research Tool
This ecosystem is built on our latest research and contributions in the field of robotics/control theory offering cutting edge tools for data-driven modeling and controls.
Tailored for UGVs
Our bespoke models are designed specifically with the Ackermann steered vehicles in mind.
Our framework is targeted towards tackling on-road/off-road autonomy challenges whilst mitigating Sim2Real gap and dynamic uncertainties.
All-terrain Path Tracking Capabilities
Open-Source Package
The entire pipeline is embedded into an open source python package allowing for translation of simple pose and attitude data into an end-to-end modeling and controls solution.
