Completed my Master Thesis at Fraunhofer IGCV, focusing on Reinforcement Learning-based Path Planning using Robot Simulation. Developed and tested RL algorithms in simulated environments to enable adaptive, collision-free navigation for a robotic arm, contributing to automation in dynamic tasks. Skills: Research and Development (R&D) · Mechatronics

Robot Simulation for Reinforcement Learning-based Path Planning - Conducted simulation-based research using the Franka Emika Panda robotic arm and PyBullet to develop RL-based adaptive path planning strategies for dynamic environments. Designed and optimized observation spaces and hyperparameters within a Soft Actor-Critic framework to improve collision avoidance, task accuracy, and safe navigation, contributing to the AutASa semiautonomous waste collection project.

Working as a Research assistant under my Robotics professor, undergoing research work based on Mechatronics and Automation (40 hours/month) Skills: AutoCAD · Robot Programming · Python (Programming Language) · Laboratory Robotics · Creative Problem Solving · C++ · Human-robot Interaction · Robotics · Management

Human Robot Interaction by Gesture Recognition using a Kinect Camera - Experienced in simplifying human-robot interaction through gesture recognition technology. Enhancing efficiency, safety, and collaboration by enabling users to convey instructions seamlessly. By the use of Kinect sensor, the data (coordinates and angles) tracked by the sensor is directly sent to the Robot, which replicates the motion of the user.
