Raged Lab / Signal -> Intelligence -> Action

I build systems that sense the world and respond intelligently.

I am Kritim Bastola, a Master's student in Computer Science at the University of New Mexico, originally from Nepal. I work at the intersection of research, software, robotics, accessibility, and human-centered technology.

Current Status

Researcher-builder in orbit.

Current Role Research Assistant, UNM College of Nursing
Education M.S. Computer Science, University of New Mexico
Origin Nepal -> New Mexico
Building Intelligent systems that connect software with the physical world

Signal Feed

Live threads from the lab.

  • [HRV DATA] collecting participant heartbeat signals
  • [HAPTICS] obstacle detection belt prototype
  • [AI AGENTS] support triage automation
  • [ANIMAL AUDIO] dog-human communication MVP
  • [ROBOTICS] humanoid + autonomous systems research
  • [CULTURE] books, films, ideas, philosophy

Mission Map

Major systems connected by one pattern: sense, reason, act.

Raged Lab is organized around missions instead of a standard project grid. Each mission explores a signal: biological, environmental, audio, support-workflow, or robotic.

Featured Missions

Flagship projects

Accessibility / Embedded Systems / HCI

BVI Indoor Navigation Belt

A wearable haptic obstacle-detection belt for blind and visually impaired people, using Time-of-Flight sensors, Arduino logic, and vibration feedback.

ToF Sensors Arduino Haptics
Open Case Study

Speculative Intelligence / AI / Audio

DogBridge

A human-animal communication MVP framed honestly as intent-estimation from dog audio, owner context, labels, and feedback.
