During CS509: Computer Vision, a class I took while going for my MS in Robotics Engineering, we made a brief detour into Neural Radiance Fields and tried to set up our own. We utilized the paper, “NeRF: Representing Scenes asNeural Radiance Fields for View Synthesis” by B. Mildenhall, P. P. Srinivasan, M. Tancik et al.Continue reading “A brief foray into NeRFs”

Arduino Tutorial Series
I found it beneficial to publish a few videos for the students on the FIRST robotics competition team I coach. I used the videos to help introduce students to programming, but additionally basic sensors and digital IO, which are very important concepts for a competitive robot. I find that students may get caught up inContinue reading “Arduino Tutorial Series”
OpenCV, ROS-I, & ABB IRB1600 Industrial Arm
In my industrial robotics course at WPI my team and I worked to implement an object-following industrial arm using OpenCV, ROS-I, and an ABB IRB1600 arm. The premise of the work came from our senior design and fabrication project, where we intend to have a robot ‘observe’ invasive lionfish. To demonstrate progress on the visionContinue reading “OpenCV, ROS-I, & ABB IRB1600 Industrial Arm”
