Research Assistant Co-op at the Industrial and Systems Engineering department at RIT.
• The team is developing an intelligent materials handling system for warehouses that integrates smart technologies including LiDAR sensors and
artificial intelligence.
• I was responsible for the Vehicle-to-Vehicle communication (forklift to forklift) using ROS and Raspberry Pi boards for providing the network.
• Developed 3 scenarios where in
o 2 robots would be on path of collision with each other but would then stop at a distance. This was done using the odometry data from the robots and communicating it with each other.
o The robots would be approaching each other on a blind corner and one of them would stop to let the other one continues its path. If the robot is obstructing the path of the other robot then the other robot would go around.
o One robot following the other robot in a straight line.
