I am a CS graduate student at the University of South Florida (USF). At USF, I was a research assistant at the Reality, Autonomy, and Robot Experience (RARE) Lab and conducted research in robotics. I hold a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from the Federal University of Technology Akure, Nigeria (FUTA). My interests lie in Robotics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Human-Robot Interaction (HRI).
At the RARE Lab, I led a project on a Fog Screen-Robot System. The project involved integrating a spatial augmented reality (AR) technology called a fog screen with a robotic system to allow in-the-air projections for robots to communicate with humans in environments that lack projectable surfaces.
