• Developed a people recognition algorithm using Python’s OpenCV for accurate image recognition (90% accuracy) and k-means clustering for color recognition to identify the number of people in the area.

• Integrated the robot with a mechanical arm using ROS on Linux, allowing for versatile operation and manipulation.

• Trained the model using MCNN algorithm and used Pixhawk open-source flight module for flight control.

My Role:
