🤔 Our real names: Tanmay Vilas Samak & Chinmay Vilas Samak
😉 Fun fact: We are identical twins
🙂 Ask us about: Robotics and autonomous systems
Tinker Twins: Chinmay Samak and Tanmay Samak are twin brothers, who use "Tinker Twins" as a personal brand. The twins have come a long way tinkering with various tools and technologies, which has strengthened their scientific knowledge as well as technical and non-technical skills. The duo has worked on various projects ranging from microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) to in-orbit space settlements, and almost everything in between. They have a particularly keen interest in the field of robotics and autonomous systems, and are specializing in the field of autonomous vehicles.
Tanmay Samak: I received the B.Tech. degree in Mechatronics Engineering with a silver medal from SRM Institute of Science and Technology in 2021. Having worked on several research projects in the field of autonomous vehicles, complemented with a solid background in mechatronics engineering, I have joined ARMLab at CU-ICAR as a direct Ph.D. candidate under the supervision of Dr. Venkat Krovi to pursue focused research in the field of vehicle automation. My research interests lie at the intersection of real and virtual worlds to create physically and graphically accurate digital twins. I am currently contributing towards projects such as VIPR-GS, OpenCAV, AutoDRIVE and F1Tenth.
Chinmay Samak: I received the B.Tech. degree in Mechatronics Engineering with a gold medal from SRM Institute of Science and Technology in 2021. Having worked on several research projects in the field of autonomous vehicles, complemented with a solid background in mechatronics engineering, I have joined ARMLab at CU-ICAR as a direct Ph.D. candidate under the supervision of Dr. Venkat Krovi to pursue focused research in the field of vehicle automation. My research interests lie at the intersection of formal, data-driven and learning based methods to bridge the gap between simulation and reality. I am currently contributing towards projects such as VIPR-GS, OpenCAV, AutoDRIVE and F1Tenth.
