# Laxmi Asu Machine Enhancement

* Collaborated with Padma Shri Chintakindi Mallesham, the inventor, to enhance the Asu Machine.
* Utilized Arduino technology in coordination with Purdue University's EPICS program to empower Pochampally artisans in prototyping diverse fabric designs.
* Expanded the design capacity from 5 to 10 designs to a versatile range of over 1000 designs.
* Reprogrammed the control unit and seamlessly integrated it into the existing system, resulting in the successful development of a functional and testable prototype.
