Ontario Tech University (2016)

Position

Research Intern (07/2016 - 10/2016), Ontario Tech University, Canada. Supervised by Prof. Haoxiang Lang.

Research

During my research internship at Ontario Tech University, I worked on a project involving 3D point cloud-based hand recognition using Kinect camera and its integration with robotics systems.

The project focused on developing a system that could recognize and track human hands in 3D space using point cloud data captured by a Kinect camera, and then integrate this recognition capability with robotic systems for human-robot interaction applications.

Technical Work

• Utilized Kinect camera to capture 3D point cloud data of human hands
• Developed algorithms for hand detection and recognition from point cloud data
• Implemented point cloud processing techniques to extract hand features and gestures
• Integrated the hand recognition system with robotic platforms for real-time interaction
• Conducted experiments and validation of the system's accuracy and performance

Key Achievements

• Successfully implemented 3D hand recognition using point cloud data from Kinect camera
• Developed a working prototype that integrated hand recognition with robotic systems
• Gained hands-on experience with computer vision, 3D point cloud processing, and robotics
• Contributed to research in human-robot interaction and gesture recognition
