About me

Hi! Rucha here.

I am an M.S student, studying Mechanical Engineering in the Thomas Lord Department of Mechanical Engineering and Material Science, Duke University. I wish to conduct research and pursue a Ph.D. in Robotics and Intelligent Systems!

Priorly, I have worked in Mechanical Design and CAD and wanted to familiarize myself with Computer Vision and Deep Learning for Robots during this course. For this class, I have worked alongside Ankitha Durvasula and Dr. George Delagrammatikas on the Haptics Robot Arm Project.

My contributions

I implemented the YOLO algorithm for a custom trained dataset using the darknet framework which was a subsection of the Haptic Robot Arm Project. The program can identify and differentiate between a Sponge Ball, a Rubber Ball and a Golf ball. The Links to the tutorials are as below. 

  1. Computer Vision Basics
  2. Image and Video Processing – Implementation
  3. YOLO Algorithm 
  4. YOLO Algorithm Execution Steps :-
    1. Creating a Custom Object Detection Dataset
    2. Label Studio and Annotations
    3. Running Darknet framework on Jetson Nano
    4. Preparing and Training Custom Model on Jetson
    5. Preparing and Training Custom Model on Google Colab
    6.  Running YOLO with custom dataset
