A theoretical graph analysis on EEG-controlled bionic arm with importance to senses of human

I have written a journal article paper on the above topic. The bionic arm can be operated by using the brain nerve of humans and a Machine learning algorithm is used to analyze the brain nerve pattern which transmits the signal to the muscles.

Experience

STACIA CORP, Chennai

Embedded Engineer

December 2022 – December 2023.

Developed and executed multiple standalone projects, taking them from concept to fully functional prototypes with integrated hardware, firmware, and cloud services.

Smart Table & AI Voice Assistant:

- Developed a centralized smart-home hub integrated into a table, featuring an AI Voice Assistant built with the OpenAI GPT-3.5 API and AWS services to control lights, chargers, and other appliances.

- Engineered the embedded firmware in C/C++ for an STM32 microcontroller, utilizing FreeRTOS for multi-threaded sensor data processing and peripheral management.

- Built and trained machine learning pipelines using TensorFlow and Pandas to enhance the voice assistant's natural language understanding and response accuracy.

- Deployed the backend services on AWS using Docker and Kubernetes, ensuring high availability (99.9% uptime) and real-time responsiveness for multiple users.

- Integrated MQTT and HTTP REST APIs to establish seamless, low-latency communication between the smart hub and connected IoT devices.

Reverse Kettle & Thermal Optimization:

- Engineered a "Reverse Kettle" capable of both heating and cooling water by programming an STM32 microcontroller to control a Peltier module, achieving 89% thermal efficiency.

- Optimized system performance and hardware-software integration through a rigorous testing process involving over 50 documented experiments.

Core Technical Skills:

Conference

23rd FAI International Conference - Feb 2021

At this Conference, I spoke about the development of a bionic limb with electroencephalography (EEG) to receive data for the movement of the bionic limb from human users, theoretically. Also, many sensors were used to feel the sense of touch by the bionic limb based on the somatosensory cortex of a human, and here is the FAI Conference Certificate - https://drive.google.com/file/d/16EKOwqpykvE2CXwgYPIWp0oiw6BSqYT-/view?usp=drive_link
