About Me

Hello! I'm Hari Prasad Gajurel, a Mechanical Engineer with a strong interest in both theoretical and applied problems in control theory and AI/ML.

I am genuinely astounded by "The unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics as the language of nature" (Eugene Wigner). This drives my passion for the software implementation of theoretical ideas, 3D CAD design, and embedded systems. To me, engineering is about optimizing parameters to obtain the best result.

Research & Interests

  • Control Systems: Optimizing parameters for stability and performance.
  • Machine Learning: Bridging control systems and learning algorithms.
  • Robotics: 3D Design, Motion Planning, and Embedded Systems.

Research Projects

Active Foot Prosthesis Hardware Prototype

Figure 2: Prototype Bench-top Testing & Design

Development and Bench-top validation of active foot prosthesis (Bachelor's Project 2024-2025) 2024 - 2025
Project Lead, Mechanical Design & Control

Design and Bench top validation of a prototype of a powered ankle foot prosthesis which utilizes a belt-pulley transmission, driven by an Ak-60-6 actuators and integrates an STM-32 micro-controller. Integrated the actuator into an Ankle, making the prosthetics lighter and human-centric. The system enables to follow the natural gait Pattern.
