Research Experience

October 2019 - Present

GRASP Lab, Upenn
Lawn Management Robot Based on Deep Learning and Reinforcement Learning

Researched on robot navigation using reinforcement learning method, object(trash) detection using single-shot detector(SSD), semantic segmentation using Mask-RCNN, object gripping based on reinforcement learning and robotic arm control under ROS and MoveIt.

March 2019 - September 2019

GRASP Lab, Upenn
Quori Research on Face Tracking, Emotion Detection and Rendering

Researched on the application of computer vision and deep learning. Based on OpenCV, Finished the algorithm of human face tracking based on KCF Filter, emotion detection by TensorFlow. Completed the algorithm of spcacial transformation from 2D image plane to 3D shperical screen and the code of rendering different images according to the location and emotion of the person using OpenGL.

October 2017 - June 2018

Institute of intelligent measurement and instrumentation
Hybrid Brain-Computer Interface(HBCI) Technology in Patient Rehabilitation Application

Researched on the working principle of the brain and collecting and processing EEG signals. It would help the disabled or the patient complete the rehabilitation process with mechanical aids.

Set up the experimental platform and carried out experiments with 20 suitable volunteers.

Established Asynchronous Hybrid Brain-Computer Interface Based on SSVEP and SSAEP. Optimized the algorithm of feature extraction using FFT and CCA. Wrote an application to control the mouse cursor through the EEG signal.
