Python · scikit-learn · MLP · Jetson Nano
- –Collected and labelled a custom image dataset of traffic signs and signals directly from the robot's on-board camera
- –Trained and tuned an MLP model for real-time recognition of 5 sign classes (stop, speed, green light, yellow light, sheep)
- –Deployed the model on a Jetson Nano-powered robot, enabling fully autonomous operation with no remote input
- –Robot responded correctly to each sign: stopping, adjusting speed, and holding position based on live predictions
End-to-end ML on real hardware — self-collected data, model training and optimisation, and embedded deployment for autonomous control.
