Trained road following and object detection models. +• Configured steering gain, steering bias, offset, min/max/cruise speed, turn/straight speed variability to maximize performance of car on track. Made local news. +• Set up PyTorch, Torch2trt, torchvision, JetCam, JetRacer, Jetson-inference. Installed inertial measurement unit driver. +• Configured Jupyter Lab Server to auto-launch on boot, assign itself IP address, and broadcast on local network. +• Upgraded stability and speed of model training by installing NVMe drive and setting up 4GB swap partition to expand total available memory to 12GB from 8GB. +Evaluated power requirement to select battery pack to power NVIDIA device. + Project experience video for now:
