Robot Guide Dog
Overview
This was under the NUS Centre for Computing for Social Good & Philanthropy (CCSGP) for the “Robotic Assistant Dog for the Visually Impaired” Project. As a summer intern in May 2022, I did a preliminary review for visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithms, and designed a possible navigation system in unseen environments for Boston Dynamics Spot using open-source SLAM algorithms and neural network models. As a research engineer intern in May 2023, I continued my previous work as a summer intern, on a cost-effective navigation system in unseen environments for Boston Dynamics Spot and Unitree Go1 robot dogs. I implemented SLAM algorithms and developed a neural network pipeline integrating Mask2Former and Segment Anything (SAM) for collision avoidance using limited visual information.
