Automated reading of gauges/indicators from various models of electrical equipment.
Built and deployed an automated gauge-reading pipeline (integrated into ROS for the inspection robot) to interpret real-world electrical equipment indicators.
Contributed to Vision-Language Model (VLM) fine-tuning, handling data preprocessing and annotation with very limited samples to improve gauge understanding.
Designed a modular, extensible framework with integrated visualization tools, enabling rapid experimentation and future improvements.
Established a structured, annotated data pipeline from robot inspection missions, supporting continuous model training and validation.
