Riding in the Mountains of Utah | Bikes + Drones Rajiv Mantena 2020-05-23 | Shot on a DJI Mavic Pro and GoPro Hero 7 Black near East Canyon Reservoir, Utah.First attempt at mounting a GoPro to a Motorcycle Helmet. The video looks much better than what I expected. Audio got ruined though. Turned out to be a very windy day though and the wind noises made it difficult to edit everything as planned. Also, third hands-on with DJI's Follow Me function. It's Cinematic AF if it is able to recognize the subject well.

Dashcam footage from I-5 Rajiv Mantena 2020-09-20 | Captured on Roav DashCam C1 while drive north on I-5 between Los Angeles and Sacramento. About the swerving incident, when I look back, I'm actually impressed by the trucker's skills to analyze the situation and make the decision to merge into my lane in such a short amount of time. He/she definitely noticed there was a sufficient gap to pull into and wasted no time once the car in front passed him. Although it led to me getting panicked, I'm not really that mad at him/her.Music:Stark Goes Dark by The Whole Other#Dashcam #I5North

Riding a Dirt Bike for the 1st time & Crashing a Drone for the 11th time Rajiv Mantena 2020-09-07 | Shot on a DJI Mavic Pro on the Skyline Trail near Ogden, Utah.I tried chasing my friends as they headed up the trail on their dirt bikes; then almost lost the entire control of the drone; luckily gained back control and saved it from crashing into a tree; finally managed to crash it into the bush myself. One of the 'legs' of the Mavic Pro that day. Luckily, everything still works. Lesson learnt, be cautious when using the Cinematic Mode on the Mavic. :D It was a great day of riding though. The full video will be up sometime. Until then, ✌🏽#DirtBikes #MavicPro #moments2cherish

Memorizing every UN Member Nation | Geography (Now) Challenge! Rajiv Mantena 2020-04-11 | Putting that blindfold on took me back to the days of when I use to be into Cubing. Good old days. This time around, I wanted to make the better use of this lockdown and get done with all the stuff I've been procrastinating on. This was on that list. I should probably work on finishing The Alchemist now. The challenge is basically to list out all the UN member nations and the two observant states as of late March 2020. There are 193 in total. Also, this wasn't as challenging as I first assumed. I think I spent much more time filming editing this video than preparing for it. Also, here's the link to the uncut video, if you feel the need to check that I didn't remove my blindfold during this challenge: youtube.com/watch?v=12s7VUxCnZM#GeographyChallenge

Ok Kanmani - Ok Bangaram | a color palette case study Rajiv Mantena 2018-09-07 | I compiled this video to study and understand the color palette of the scenes and how it transforms over the length of the film. The most noticeable transformation is that of the presence of pink shades to that of blue shades towards the climax. Pink represents Love, Romance, Playfulness, Immaturity, Imagination. Blue, on the other hand, represents Trust, Responsibility, Honesty, Loyalty etc. This transition follows the relationship arc of the protagonists. P.C.Sreeram has abundantly used lights with shades of pink light during the initial stages of the drama. He might not have used shades of blue light to the same extent, but it is noticeable to a keen eye. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////No copyright infringement is intended, neither that of the imagery nor the music.

Time-Delayed Bilateral Teleoperation using Wave Variables | Haptics Project Rajiv Mantena 2017-05-01 | ME 7960 Haptics Project: Time-Delayed Bilateral Teleoperation using Wave Variables University of Utah | Spring 2017 Rajiv Mantena and Keith DockstaderWe worked on this project to understand how using Wave Variables for Time-Delayed Teleoperation would ensure Stability.Hardware used for this project: 2 Novint Falcons.SDK used for this project: Force Dimension SDK 3.6 on Windows.A user-selectable (non-varying) Time-Delay has been implemented in code. The executable can present time delays between 0.001 sec (actual Haptic loop) and 1 sec.All the code for the project is available at: https://eng.utah.edu/~mantena/haptics/To run the executable :- Download and Install the Falcon Drivers from Force Dimension's website.- Download the executable "runMe.exe" and Run it.- The executable offers you to experience the following three Bilateral Teleoperation Control Strategies: Bilateral Teleoperation (Position Servo) without time delay, Bilateral Teleoperation with time delay and Bilateral Teleoperation using Wave Variables with time delay.- The user should be able to navigate between the three Control Strategies by keyboard inputs. Gains and Time Delays can also be varied.To modify the source code :- Download and Install the SDK from Force Dimension's website.Update the mirror.cpp file at ...\sdk-3.6.0\examples\CLI\mirror\ with our sourceCode.cpp.- Compile and Run the updated mirror project.- More instructions available in readMe.txt.References :Niemeyer, G., & Slotine, J.-J. E. - Stable Adaptive Teleoperation. IEEE Journal of Oceanic Engineering (1991)We'd like to Thank :- Force Dimension, the original authors of the source code for mirror. We had based our project on this code.- Nick Posselli for providing the code to implement time delays in software.- Dr. Jake Abbott for guidance which helped us complete this project on time.The code is provided AS-IS, for use under the MIT license. Use it as you like.© Rajiv Mantena | Updated : April 2017

DIY Cubetimer v0.1 - Another weekend project Rajiv Mantena 2013-06-15 | This is the project of Arduino Duemilanove working as a Standalone Cube timer.I havnt solved the whole cube in this video. Just for demonstration.The two metal plates act as the input. their size would be reduced and an insulating layer would be added later.Both act as capacitive sensors. Thanks Paul Badger, for Capacitive Sensing Library.The Blinking LED indicates the stopwatch counting. (Stopwatch isnt calibrated yet. isnt calibrated yet)Thanks to Paul Badger again, for the Stopwatch code.The time is for now displayed on the Laptop Screen. A standalone LCD display would be added soon. The laptop only provides the power and displays time.Soon, They would be replaced by a 9 volt battery and a 16X2 LCD display.
