Set up, different implementations, CAD designs, several guides for future work on research with Turtlebot 2 with a Jetson TX2, ROS Melodic, RGB-D Camera & LiDAR (2020 - Present)
This is a continuing project and my current work as a research assistant at CETYS University. It consists of working and doing research in different fields with the Turtlebot 2 with a Jetson TX2 ROS Melodic.
Maze solving autonomous mobile robot "Micromouse" (2022)
This was my final project for the course “Operating systems” which consists of developing from scratch an autonomous mobile robot capable of solving mazes by its own
Various different Computer vision & Image processing assignments & projects (2021-2022)
These assignments and projects are from three specialization courses from my University, and the content was about computer vision and image processing.
Visual detector conveyor system with CNN to keep track of a medicine order (2021)
This project consists of developing a conveyor system from scratch and using a camera with a CNN (VGG-16), to classify different kinds of medicines, and therefore keep the track of a hypothetical medicine order in a big pharmacy.
Autonomous lane tracking Ackerman robot (2021)
This was my final project for the course “Control Engineering”, which consists of developing an autonomous mobile Ackerman robot, capable of lane tracking by just using a camera as feedback for a control system.
Genetic Algorithm applied to a path-planning problem (2020)
This project was part of my own research for my course “Research Methodology”, which consists of applying the concept of a genetic algorithm to the path-planning research field.
Applying different path planning algorithms to Turtelbot 2 using the ROS framework (2020)
This was my final project for the course “Algorithm Design”, which consists of using the ROS (Melodic) framework and Gazebo to develop a path-tracking Turtlebot 2 in a simulated already-known environment, the trajectory was calculated using two main algorithms Dijkstra and A*.
