About Me
Currently, I am a Junior at Morgan State University, located in Baltimore, Maryland. I am pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science. My expected graduation date is in 2025.
About My Mentor
My mentor, Dr. Chris Crawford from the University of Alabama, is a researcher who’s work focuses on Brain-Computer Interfaces, as well as Human-Robot Interaction. His work aims to leverage novel neurophysiological sensing technologies, software engineering, and robotics to create tools and applications that support the exploration of Brain-Robot Interaction.
About My Project
mBot Neo
Problem: There is a lack of reasearch focusing on exploring ways to build educational software that integrates physical robots and physiological sensors.
Approach: During this project, I will assist a team in designing a system that accomplishes the following:
- Capture physiological data such as EEG and EMG from the human body.
- Process raw sensor data and classify events such as gestures (e.g., arm movements) and emotional states (e.g., attention levels)
- Map output from physiological sensors to a physical robot.
Expected Outcome: The project is expected to result in a conference poster presentation at the end of the DREU program. The poster will focus on the system’s technical architecture.
