I use machine learning (i.e. deep learning) techniques to process visual sign languages and generate text in English. Also, I am building a robot out of 3D-printed parts

My hobby is building a butler robot out of 3D printed parts. The robot is used at the university and at the public events to teach general public about how simple robots are
My Typical Day: Every day must begin with a cup of tea and a biscuit

I mostly train my machine learning models on pre-recorded sign language data.

From time to time I go to the workshop and build my own robot
What I'd do with the money

I will finish building the butler robot and give it to the university students to do amazing things with it

I will complete the butler robot and make more of them to teach general public about robotics during the science festivals
