Identifying key regulatory hurdles and business challenges during the market study Generate atleast 25 - 30 leads that can be approached immediately to apply our products. Bonus steps in the process would also include: Identifying new opportunities for other funding sources like VCs etc.
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Robotics
We want to use our image dataset, based on our expected users and their applications, and leverage the latest image processing technologies to develop world class products. We would like to collaborate with students to apply the latest AI and machine learning techniques to our image datasets to gather new and exciting insights that our drone products can incorporate. This will involve: Conduct background research on our existing AI implementation, capabilities of the prototype and the create datasets. Conduct research into the latest AI, ML and computer vision techniques and how they could be applied to our data. Developing a ML / AI model which provides some sort of unique outcomes or insights into our data such as recommendation algorithms, predictive analytics, classifications, or other.
A.I. Product Management
Our company works on high-end AI and robotics applications. We use an app to provide one of the key features relevant to the customer. We would like to collaborate with students to help build the app. This will help us to begin evaluating the app side of the product, in the market. This will involve several different steps for the students, including: Familiarizing themselves with products and services. Identifying features that should be included into our app. Implementing and documenting changes. Recommending areas for future app improvement and integration.
Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning Application
The main goal of this project is to leverage the YOLO framework to create an effective real-time object recognition algorithm that is focused on detecting drone swarms. By the end of the project, students should submit a final report (along with any source materials such as code, etc) that demonstrates: - Understanding of the current YOLO algorithm - Methodologies and approaches to enhancing the YOLO algorithm to specifically detect drone swarms - Providing source code in a proper software development environment as applicable
Robotics - Mechanical Design for 3D printing and CNC
We want to leverage the latest 3D Mechanical Computer Aided Design (CAD) technology available to create mechanical designs that can be fabricated using 3D printing / CNC. We would like to collaborate with students to apply their mechanical design skills to create new and exciting designs for our products. We would like students to develop Mechanical CAD modelling skills and come up with some potential designs that can be used for the various robotics applications we are developing. This will involve: Work with 3D Mechanical CAD tools to modify pre-existing designs for the requirements. Placing internal components of various products inside the 3D models. Ensure 3D printing , DFM compatibility of the final models developed.
Health and Safety evaluation due to transformers and power lines
We want to study overhead transformers, based on existing implementations, and understand the latest technology that can be used to further the understanding of transformers and their impacts to health and safety of nearby residents. We would like a group of students to first analyze the risks involved, develop the theoretical study and then come up with some potential test, measurements and strategic next steps to better this understanding. This will involve: Conduct background research on electromagnetic field interaction and human health Simulate radiation using available tools. Identify next steps, tests / certifications needed and possible platforms to strengthen this research.
