Professional Experience
End-to-end Autonomoud Driving Algorithm Intern
May 2024 - Aug 2024
Lightwheel AI
- Designed an autonomous driving simulator with a world physics model and Unreal Engine for rendering that supports end-to-end algorithms for open and closed loop control, using proto and gRPC service for communication.
- Modified the kinematic and dynamics model from MetaDrive and designed an MPC unit for closed-loop control.
- Trained an end-to-end autonomous driving algorithm (UniAD) using data collected from a 3D Gaussian Splatting reconstructed scenarios from the nuScenes dataset in the in-house simulator.
- Developed a CI workflow that automatically adds tags and builds releases of Python packages and Docker images.
Drive Sim Intern
Jun 2023 - Aug 2023
Lightwheel AI
- Developed a data visualization system for custom synthetic autonomous vehicle simulation data i.e. (bounding boxes, maps, diagnostics) with Python Foxglove framework.
- Developed a synthetic data generation system with Unreal Engine that features keyboard control, customizable sensor modelling for cameras and lidars and smart agent system that utilizes a built-in navigation mechanism in UE.
- Developed and maintained a Python library that contains sensor models and 3D transformation methods.
