I designed the perception pipeline for the autonomous robot using depth and monocular cameras. I fine-tuned YOLOv8 model for object detection and analysis of game field. Based on the perceived state of the environment, the robot needed to perform its tasks – quickly pick up the team-colored ball (Task-1) and quickly store the picked ball into the optimal storage vessel (Task-2).
