Robotics & Autonomous MSc Lincoln

Dissertation Project (On Going, Finished by mid September)

Title: One-Class Classification for Anomaly Detection in Strawberries using Adversarially sythesised data
Motivation:

• Supervised learning approaches require large annoated datasets for classifying images
• Anomalies are rare and datasets may not be available, expensive and timely to collect
• Supervised learning is not true anomality detection, it can only detect instances of abnormality
  Proposition:
• One-Class Classification is a technique to overcome some of these issues,
• in One-class (OC), the models are trained only using normal data (i.e. not anomalous)
• When anomalous data is presented to a system using OC it is able to discern it from normality
• Another approach to learn normality is to use Generative Adversarial Networks (where the generator is an autoencoder)

Lincoln Modules

Robot Programming:

• Weed Detection using Thorvald Robot simulated in Gazeboo
• Linux Unbuntu
• ROS, Python, Yolov3 (Object detection)
• Git/Github
• Project Github Repo

Advanced Machine Learning

• Tensorflow, Keras, Google Colab
• Image preparation (resizing, annotating and creating reproducable data splits)
• Transfer Learning & Custom CNN Models for Image Classification

Advanced Robotics

• Netlogo Simulation of heterogeneous robotic solution for Apple Harvesting
• One agent for harvesting apples, the other for collecting the apples
• Investigated different task and agent allocation methods to see how this effected the difference between the maxiumum and minimum travelled distance for the collector robotic agents
• Paper review of 12 different papers related to Grasping within the context of robotic fuit & veg harvesting

Games Development BSc (1st)

Dissertation Project

Title: Incentivise Recycling through the application of Gamification

• Android App made using Andriod Studio with Java,
• Fragments, Recycler views and
• Firestore for storing recycled items for each user, Firebase Authentication for users account
• Project Github Repo

Year 1

Space Invaders style game, using Unity with C#

Year 2

Games Jam (48 hours) Unity C#, worked alongside an artist and 2 other programmers

Software Enterprise Project - created a virtual experience of Tombola’s new building in Sunderland for prospective employees. Tombola was the client, our team won the best group for that client where I was the team leader and created the building in Unity

Year 3

Portfolio Game

• Age of War style game, player faces off against an enemy AI
• Recruit units to fight enemy, where the player to destroy the enemy base is the winner
• Resource Management, funds slowely build up, units and upgrade have to be managed based upon the enemies strategy
• Animations using Unity Animator
• Polished Game
• Project Github Repo
