learning-based control, and multi-agent decision-making using ROS, visual SLAM, iLQR, MDP/POMDP
and reachability analysis
Industry Experience

- Led Electronics and Software Engineering team to develop in-house 3-channel and 8-channel EMG armband
running machine learning on the edge to predict grip patterns of amputees
- Developed Flutter mobile application to interact withproducts

- Built OCR system to read SIM card number with CV
- Developed application managing management application for 2000 sensors, with real-time update
and automatic report generator generation
- Created a REST service tracing program using DFS

- Programmed an 8-DOF robotic arm and omni-directional base with obstacle detection,
collision avoidance and RPA (?)
- Improved analog circuit for teleconference robot; RF control to debug and prototype robotic functions

Supported clients’ projects and prototyped solutions using NI products (NI LabVIEW, Multisim, Ultiboard and Camera Vision): self-balancing robots, 3-DOF robotic arm controlled by CV
