Languages & Tools
- bumpy_ws — Multi-robot hardware fleet (ROS2 AMR); namespaced TF frames, Nav2, SLAM/cartographer, patrol exploration on real Raspberry Pi–based robots.
- swarm_ws_sim — Multi-robot simulation counterpart to bumpy_ws; Gazebo + ROS2 Humble + cartographer SLAM for testing swarm coordination before hardware deployment.
- mybot — Simulation project comparing SLAM approaches (Cartographer, SLAM Toolbox) on a differential-drive robot with Nav2.
- cafe — Simulated autonomous café service robot that delivers food from the kitchen to the table using the full Nav2 stack in Gazebo.
- Hospital Disinfection AMR-as-a-Service — Deploying and operating ROS2-based autonomous disinfection robots in hospitals; configured Nav2 (Smac/NavFn planners), SLAM, AMCL, and LiDAR-based localization for real-world field commissioning.
- Akio — Akio Mini-AMR built on ROS1 Noetic.
- Elephant_Detection — Detects elephant movement near forest boundaries using an MPU6050 sensor and alerts users before the animal crosses; camera + YOLOv8 double-checks the detection, then triggers a deterrent sound to drive the elephant back into the forest.
- Leaf_disease_detection — Detects leaf disease from images, classifies the likely cause, and suggests a treatment/solution.
- Waste_plastic_classification — ML + hardware project: a 6-DOF robot arm that sorts plastic waste using a YOLOv8-based vision system and forward kinematics.
