Graduate Research Assistant - Pullman, WA
As a graduate research assistant, I worked on implementing Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to create an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system for boats. The goal of the project was to enable boats to detect and follow other boats by analyzing and mimicking their movements. This involved training the AI model using a large dataset of boat movements and using the CNN to extract relevant features and patterns from the data. Once the AI model was trained, we tested it in a simulated environment to ensure that it could accurately detect and follow other boats. Through this project, I gained valuable experience in AI development and CNNs, as well as the practical applications of these technologies in the field of autonomous vehicles.
