NOVA Research Involvement
I am an active member of the NOVA research group, which focuses on advancing autonomous driving technologies. As part of this program, we have developed a fully functional vehicle prototype, equipped with cutting-edge sensors, AI-driven systems, and advanced algorithms for real-world autonomous navigation.
Our work aims to push the boundaries of autonomous vehicle research, leveraging deep learning, robotics, and state-of-the-art machine learning techniques to solve complex problems in the field.
Brake Light Detection
One of my key contributions to the NOVA program is the development of a brake light detection system. This system utilizes YOLOv8, a state-of-the-art object detection model, to identify and classify braking behaviors of vehicles in real-time. By integrating this with ROS2, we aim to enhance the decision-making capabilities of our autonomous vehicle prototype.
