### Robotics Intern @ Neurala
Jan 2018 – Jan 2018 | Greater Boston Area
- Built an interactive demo robot to showcase key AI technologies at tradeshows and tech expos. Designed, CAD modeled, and 3D printed in-house.

- Implemented a microcontroller-based electronics system to control the robot’s joints and communicate with an onboard GPU accelerated PC. Used C++ to integrate two of Neurala’s flagship products

- Utilized proprietary software to auto-orient the robot’s head and track the closest person. 

- Designed and integrated a “Photo Booth” to simulate green screen pictures with various
backgrounds. Used an Image Segmenter and Alpha Compositing to create the new image.

- Results were displayed on a body-mounted touch screen and sent to the user

- Leveraged Knowledge in Git, C++, Python, OpenCV, Arduino, Serial Communication, Autodesk Inventor, Circuit Design, Multimeter, 3D Printing
