Research Assistant
-
Jul 2020 - Dec 2020
Worked on a computer vision interface as a precursor to a brain-computer interface. The following were the key highlights of my role as a research assistant - 1. Integrated a computer vision machine learning algorithm based on the YOLOv3 framework 2. Interpreted output data from the algorithm to useful information pertaining to the local environment 3. Worked with a Stereo camera and combined detection information with camera sensors to give a detailed overlay of object information in local environment such as - a. Distance of object from camera b. Overlaying a mask over the object to define boundaries using object depth c. Movement of the camera over time and with respect to the objects (past and present) d. Object tracking over multiple frames e. Color recognition of multiple objects in a single frame f. Socket programming (UDP and TCP) for transmission of information independent or dependent to object detection 4. GPU programming with the Jetson TX2 as an AI accelerated platform for machine learning 5. Training and organizing large datasets for neural network training 6. Coding and organizing information in Linux using BASH script 7. Proficiency in various python libraries such as OpenCV, NumPy, scikit-learn, pandas, TensorFlow, PyTorch, etc Show less

Prosthetic technician

Mar 2019 - Jun 2020
Worked with Matt Bowtell (Australian of the year 2018) in developing a low cost prosthetic hand for underprivileged members of the community. His company, Free 3d Hands developed a body – powered prosthetic hand having a spring mechanism for clutching objects. Using cutting- edge biomedical engineering knowledge, we were brought on to assist in the development of a prosthetic hand with a motor and reflectance sensor. Responsibilities Include :- - Developing the interface between the arm and the operating system that governed the interaction of the user with the external environment. - Understanding the functioning of the muscular system around the arm and it’s interaction with the reflectance sensor. - Interpreting the reflectance sensor signal and adapting it to individual muscle movement. - The first working prototype was set to ship in March 2020 but due to the pandemic restrictions, development was put on hold. - The successor to the hand, was meant to consist of a smart myoelectric motor which would utilize a machine learning model to interact with the environment via the motors in the prosthetic hand. It is currently under development. Show less
