Project Canine
A summer research project (NSF / Auburn University) that derived a working dog's motions from noisy sensor data using a machine learner and GUI - built around Major, a Labrador Retriever wearing a remote sensing and comms package.

Project Canine was my summer research project in 2009, sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering at Auburn University. I had the chance to work with Major, a four-year-old Labrador Retriever.
Major wore a sensor and comms package that allowed him to be signalled remotely based on sensor data. Working under Dr. Winard Britt, I built a machine learner and GUI system that could accurately derive the canine’s motions from noisy sensor data. The program also trained participants in LaTeX.
This work was published as An embedded system for real-time navigation and remote command of a trained canine.
