Project Overview: The Otto Sorting Bin is an autonomous waste management system designed to solve the problem of recycling contamination. By integrating YOLOv8 object detection with a custom T-Bot gantry mechanism, this project demonstrates how edge computing (Jetson Nano) can be used to identify, grasp, and sort waste materials in...

Project Overview: This post details the development of Driver’s Assistant with Detection (D.A.D.), a computer vision system designed to reduce blind-spot accidents caused by visual impairment. We walk through the process of implementing the YOLOv1 architecture from scratch using Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) principles to create a lightweight, efficient detection model.... [Read More]

Project Overview: This project addresses the critical issue of medical misdiagnosis by developing an AI-powered symptom checker. To ensure a deep understanding of the underlying mathematics, the Deep Neural Network (DNN) and backpropagation algorithms were implemented entirely from scratch in MATLAB, without relying on high-level deep learning toolkits.

Project Overview: The Hand Gestured Stroller is an embedded systems project designed to alleviate the physical strain of manually pushing baby strollers. By utilizing a Tiva C Series TM4C123 microcontroller and an MPU6050 accelerometer, this project creates a vehicle that autonomously moves, turns, and stops based on the user’s hand... [Read More]

Project Overview: This project explores the feasibility of controlling an elevator system wirelessly to reduce infrastructure costs and mechanical complexity. By implementing Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) modulation and demodulation circuits, we successfully transmitted digital control signals through an air medium to drive a stepper-motor-based elevator mechanism.
