Projects

Graduate Research:

• I am currently working on modelling motor learning during human-robot interaction.

Undergraduate Research:

• During my B.Sc. I did a variety of projects, including Designing a Fuzzy Logic Controller for a Mobile Robot, Signal processing of different sensors’ data, Designing a PID Controller to balance a ping pong ball, Analyzing a 7-DOF Vehicle Vibration Model, Controlling the TurtleBot in ROS, Modeling some Mechanisms, Manufacturing Automatic Hand Sanitizer, and so on. 

• I also conducted many projects using Machine Learning Methods, such as Human Activity Recognition (HAR), Red Blood Cell classification, Breast Cancer Detection, Stock Market Price Prediction, Wheat Head Detection, and finding the Optimal Policy for reaching a goal in a grid world by Q-Learning algorithm.

• My Bachelor of Science thesis was about Modeling Quadrotor Dynamics and Control of its altitude and yaw angle using PID Controllers and a Reinforcement Learning Agent.
