Worked in the Dynamic and Autonomous Robotic Systems (DARoS) laboratory under the direction of Dr. Donghyun Kim and Hochul Hwang on a Robotic Guide Dog.
• Developed a C++ program using k4a and OpenCV for transforming perspective of images captured from Azure Kinect and Unitree cameras to a top-down view, enhancing obstacle avoidance capabilities for a robotic guide dog.
• Designed ROS based Publisher Subscriber architecture for synchronized communication between Jetson Nano and Jetson Orin boards, integrating images from multiple cameras across the 2 systems into a unified top-down view
• Conducted detailed experiments to fine-tune image parameters such as aspect ratio and resolution, successfully overcoming 15+ developmental challenges, significantly improving system performance and quality of captured images
