I am a PhD Student at USF investigating biologically plausible spatial cognition models implemented in mobile robotics. At USF, I manage Dr.Weitzenfeld's Bio-Robotics Lab, were we develop spatial cognition models for mobile robotics. I also lead USF's RoboBulls team, which developed robotic systems that compete in collegit compitions all over the world.
Projects:
Summer 2022:
Developed a new deferential drive robot, dubbed HamBot, capable of performing navigational tasks.
Implemented a Hambot OS, allowing users to remote into the device over WiFi to control the robot.
A controller has been implemented in Python, which allows us to access all the system components onboard the HamBot.
Fall 2022:
Worked on expanding our multi-scale place cell spatial cognition model to incorporate latent learning.
Developed a simulation in Webots for the RoboBulls team to develop our coding base to compete in the MicroMouse competitions.

Fall 2023
Developed FAIRIS and FAIRIS-Lite project code bases, allowing users to implement robotic control and ML models for spatial navigation.
The code bases enable users to implement models within Webots without setting up the control logic or world simulations. It is a plug-and-play solution for developing ML models applied to Robotic Navigation and SLAM.
