NUS SOC Summer Workshop 2019
About Topic
Tele-Robotic Deep Learning
Cluster: AI and Security
Search and rescue operation during the aftermath of disasters / accidents is a race against time. Hazardous obstacles e.g. falling debris, high temperature, radiation leak, etc pose significant hindrance to human rescuers. The unique challenges give rise to increasing wider deployment of robotic platforms.
In this workshop, you will learn to build a robotic platform capable of scanning, mapping and exploring an unknown environment through either self- or remote-controlled navigation. Through deep learning techniques, the robotic platforms can help to identify objects in the environment and enable the human operators to make crucial decision.

Detailed learning outcomes
- Design and build circuits using various sensors (ultrasound, infrared, Lidar, temperature, light, humidity etc.), actuators (motors, sound, light etc.) and microcontrollers.
- Design and build a self-navigating robot using the sensors, actuators and microcontrollers in part i).
- Build secure network links over the cloud to control the robots, and to relay back sensor and image data.
- Build deep neural networks using industry standard tools like Tensorflow and to visualize the neural networks using tools like Tensorboard.
- Produce meaningful analytics and pattern information using the deep learning tools and data relayed back by the robots.
