👋 Hello there, I’m Rassul!
🤖 I am interested in robotics software and in building intelligent systems that enable robots to perceive, learn, and act autonomously.
🔬 My main research interests are:
- Reinforcement learning for robot control
- Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models
- Computer vision for robotic perception
- Robotic manipulators and legged robots
🚀 I am especially interested in combining learning-based methods with real robotic systems to develop more adaptive and autonomous robots.
🏆 Selected Experience
🤖 Robotics Intern (short term) - Arcobo, Almaty, Kazakhstan
- Deployed and operated a Kawasaki industrial robot.
- Programmed and executed motion tasks on the Astorino Kawasaki platform, including trajectory following and pick-and-place operations.
- Utilized SimBox HIL simulation for safe testing, validation, and rapid iteration of robotic workflows.
🏭 Automation and Robotics Engineer — Hyundai Trans Kazakhstan
Car Spot Welding: Participated in the integration of the Hyundai Accent body model into robotic welding cells, gaining hands-on experience in workflow setup, configuration, and trajectory path optimization for automated production.
Autonomous Guided Vehicles (AGVs): Studied Hyundai’s AGV systems used for intralogistics and material transport. Explored PLC communication protocols for AGV navigation, coordination, and precise body transfer across assembly lines.
PLC Programming: Designed ladder logic in Siemens TIA Portal (S7-300) to control a conveyor system, implementing start/stop commands, direction switching, emergency stop, and timer-based sequences.
HMI Development: Developed operator interfaces in XP Builder (LS Electronics) for real-time conveyor visualization and control, including functional buttons (Start, Reset, Direction, E-Stop) and sensor status indicators.
Sensor Integration: Installed and calibrated inductive proximity sensors, enabling automated start, delay, and stop sequences synchronized with conveyor operation.
Electrical Assembly: Assembled and wired a complete control cabinet with circuit breakers, relays, power supplies, timers, and signaling devices, ensuring safe, reliable, and compliant system operation.
