Sri Anumakonda

I'm an autonomous vehicle researcher building in the intersection between computer vision and self-driving cars.

Current: studying robotics @cmu, member @Masason Foundation, creating SLAM-based systems for long-term data association. updates coming soon!

Prev slam research @ut austin and @tks.world where I worked with Shell, the United Nations, and Instacart. Also am one of the youngest certified self-driving car engineers in the world, was featured on Udacity for the work I'm doing.

Research

My primary research interests are in the field of autonomous vehicles and robotics, more specifically towards computer vision for vision-based autonomy. You can find some of my projects in this space below. This is just an overview of the work I'm doing. For a full list, please check my Github.

clean-usnob Bartimaeus: Stealing Vision Back - HACKPRINCETON 2024 FINALIST + HEALTHCARE TRACK WINNER
October 2024
Github / Website

Created state-of-the-art pre-trained computer vision models + greedy-based path planning algorithm to navigate indoor enviroments for the visually impaired.

clean-usnob DebateZero: The Future of Debate Analysis - HACKCMU 2024 OVERALL WINNER
October 2024
Github

Used spectral analysis, landmark detection, mathematical modelling, and eye tracking to gain insights on debates and identify misinformation and bias.

clean-usnob CUDA-Optimized Semantic Segmentation for Autonomous Vehicles
February 2023 - May 2023
Github

Leveraging CUDA + OpenCV + PyTorch's C++ API (LibTorch) using TorchScript to run semantic segmentation at the highest FPS possible

clean-usnob Creating Autonomous Vehicles with Deep-Q Networks
January 2022 - February 2022
RL Article / Tweet

Leveraged Reinforcement Learning algorithms to help train a self-driving agent to drive in a highway environment [using discrete controls].

clean-usnob End2End Learning for Lateral Control
November 2021 - January 2022
Research Proposal / Tweet

Used Deep Convolutional Networks to control self-driving steering, read more than 60 papers in the space, and met some really smart people from the wayve.ai + comma.ai team!

clean-usnob DataGAN: Leveraging Synthetic Data for Self-Driving Vehicles
September 2021 - October 2021
Medium article / Github

Using DC-GANs to create synthetic data that can be used to train + validate the robustness of autonomous vehicles. End goal is to apply to extrapolate the data pool we have for adverse driving scenarios/any situations where limited data is available.

clean-usnob Building a self-driving car!
May 2021
Medium article / Certificate / Github

Used my knowledge throughout the Udacity Self-Driving Nanodegree [from perception and sensor fusion of LiDAR and radar sensors to polynomial trajectory generation] to create my capstone project; an autonomous vehicle capable of driving in simulation (using waypoitns). I built trajectory algorithms, localization algorithnms, and kalman filters to name a few of the projects I built!
