As a Robotics Engineer at RoboInnovation, I've had the opportunity to incorporate AI and ML into several robotic solutions. One of our noteworthy projects involved developing an autonomous warehouse robot capable of sorting and organizing inventory. We used a combination of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Reinforcement Learning to achieve this.
Using a wide array of sensors and cameras, the robot was taught object recognition using TensorFlow. We then developed a policy-gradients-based reinforcement learning model for teaching the robot how to sort and place the items efficiently throughout the warehouse. The project was successful, with the robots able to increase warehouse productivity and reduce manual errors significantly. It really showed the transformative power of AI/ML in the field of robotics.
