Developed an end-to-end deployment pipeline to run OpenVLA on a physical robot (xArm7), including real-time image preprocessing, model inference, and action execution
Benchmarked OpenVLA performance in both simulation (LIBERO, SimplerEnv) and real-world zero-shot settings, analyzing the impact of environment familiarity on success rates
Built and integrated a GELLO teleoperation system to enable efficient demonstration collection, and designed a modular data collection framework for OpenVLA fine-tuning
Collaborated with a team of 5 fellows and an Engineering Director to iteratively enhance data preprocessing, feature engineering, and model tuning for high-accuracy PII (Personally identifiable information) detection
Developed and optimized a hybrid entity recognition approach, leveraging Regex, Named Entity Recognition (NER), and Large Language Models to enhance detection accuracy, and achieve over 90% precision in identifying and redacting PIIs
Utilized Microsoft Presidio and spaCy model for entity detection, integrating format-preserving encryption (FPE) to maintain data format for alphanumeric entities
Skills Used:Python, NER, LLMs, spaCy, Presidio
