Voice Controlled Robot Arm

Using Natural Language Processing, I built an arm that takes in voice commands and moves according to the command issued. This was achieved by using recurrent neural networks as the deep learning architecture.

USGS LIDAR Challenge

Using asynchronous programming, I was able to fetch data from the usgs-lidar-public that contains cloud point data for various regions in the united states and convert that data into a geopandas dataframe and plot it on a 2D surface

Malaria Microscopy Challenge

This project involved both object detection and image classification using CNN i.e identifying malaria pathogens in a particular microscope generated image and classifying the image to either an infected sample or healthy sample.
