Bereket Sharew

▪ Worked on development of optimized motion segmentation algorithms using the optical flow information. ▪ Algorithm test and Evaluation. ▪ Applied the developed algorithm for real time fall detection using feed from multiple axis camera feed.

Intensive training on areas of Mobile computing, Hardware and Sensors, Participatory Design, Project Management

▪ Devised and executed 3D reconstruction, plane detection, point cloud filtering, and ground                     plane extraction.  ▪ Employed point cloud clustering and obstacle detection as well as integrated system with path               finding algorithm by utilizing key expertise.  ▪ Took initiate to determine and resolve challenging problems in hardware sensing enablement                         (including distance sensors), robot localization, navigation, and obstacle avoidance.  ▪ Stabilized core robot functionality, including sensing, controls, uptime, and network communications. ▪ Oversaw and managed issues and risk throughout the project and contributed in usability test                activities. ▪ Collaborated with hardware engineers to improve design, ensure functionality, support                     software production tool training and documentations. 

Shortest path planning was done using adopted A* algorithm, three axis Simulink Accelerometer was modeled. The accelerometer was calibrated using Gauss newton algorithm. Model fitting was performed using a priori collected data.

Studied the overall control system of the company, and managed overall production system using Programmable logic control. Effectively tested a PLC discrete input device, and confirmed a discrete input module, and reported the overall assessment. Designed a PLC program to control the start/stop of a bi-directional motor, planned a PLC program to interlock two motors, and PLC program that uses a safety interlock to control the operation of a machine.
