I am Gangadhara

Robotics Enthusiast

I'm interested in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence. I dream about a robotics society
in which we treat robots more than mere machines but as companions,
where we coexist with robots.

What I Believe ?

"Soon end of programming a computer will come, leading to a new era of Self Learning"

I am focused in exploring deep into AI and Robotics to develop a super intelligent system. As the technology is growing exponentially,it will cause a rise of Artificial General Intelligence diving into industry 5.0, which will enhance our lives by optimizing and discovering new solutions for the problems we face. It will encourage humans to be better at what they can do and machines to be best at what they can do. The initial steps would be automating all the tasks that are repetitive and boring, leaving creative and judgemental tasks to humans.
I strongly believe soon there is going to be robotic revolution and AI explosion in human lives, I want to be a part of it by making people accept robots not as mere machines, but as life supporters in our daily lives.


Areas that grab my interest:

  • Artificial General Intelligence
  • Evolution of Intelligence

SEARCH, SAMPLE AND RETURN

Aug 2017 – Sep 2017 | Udacity - RoboND | View Project

    Wrote a computer vision pipeline (using Python and OpenCV) to perform color thresholding, as well as perspective and coordinate transforms to complete the task of autonomous mapping and navigation in a simulated (Unity) environment.

ROBOTIC ARM - PICK AND PLACE

Sep 2017 – Oct 2017 | Udacity - RoboND | View Project

  • Solved the Inverse Kinematics problem for a six degree-of-freedom robotic arm (Kuka KR210) in a simulated environment to complete a pick-and-place operation. (Implemented using ROS, Gazebo and RViz).

FOLLOW ME – DEEP LEARNING

Nov 2017 – Jan 2018 | Udacity - RoboND| View Project

  • In this project, I have built a segmentation network, trained it, validated it, and deployed it. The main aim is to design and train a fully convolutional neural network (FCN) such that a drone can recognize a particular person and follow him/her. In the end, we can see drone tracking and following a single hero target using a network pipeline.

OPENSTREETMAP DATA WRANGLING WITH MONGODB

Feb 2017 – March 2017 | Udacity | View Project

  • I chose these two maps Hoodi,Bengaluru and tokyo,Bunkyo.I really wanted to explore differences between the regions.
  • Used data munging techniques to assess the quality of the data for validity, accuracy, completeness, consistency and uniformity.
  • Used Element Tree to parse the OSM file which had lots of inconsistencies in the dataset, abbreviations, lowercase, misspelling
  • Created regex to clean and standardize the Inserted Data into MongoDB and used pipeline structure of MongoDB for querying and Filtering data.

IDENTIFYING FRAUD FROM ENRON EMAILS AND FINANCIAL DATA

Feb 2017– May 2016 | Udacity-DAND | View Project

  • The Aim was to identify which Enron employees are more likely to have committed fraud using machine learning and public Enron financial and email data.
  • The accuracy of algorithms was calculated by the F1 score; the KNearestNeighbors with SelectKbest followed by PCA gave the best results.

EXPLORE AND SUMMARIZE DATA USING R

March 2017 – April 2017 | Udacity-DAND | View Project

  • Used R and applied Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) techniques to explore relationships in one variable to multiple variables and discovered a Wine data set for distributions, outliers, and anomalies. Main aim was to explore the correlation of chemical properties that influence the quality of red wine.
