Hi there,

I'm Mrinmoy Kumar Das

Computer Vision, AI & Robotics Enthusiast

I love exploring new use cases of computer vision and deep-learning to address autonomous robotic problems. I am interested in the intersection between AI and Robotics research, particularly in sensor-fusion and deep-learning.

About Me

I'm Mrinmoy, an Artificial Intelligence Engineer at ikeGPS, where I have been building and optimizing object detection, segmentation, and keypoint models for Utility Pole analysis using the MMDetection library. Previously, I completed my B.Tech in Computer Science Engineering from École Centrale School of Engineering, Mahindra University, Hyderabad, India.

I am passionate about tackling complex problems in robotics autonomy and navigation. My research interests include perception, autonomous system navigation, and sensor fusion, with a focus on learning-based algorithms to enhance real-world robotic applications.
