"MISTI Japan gave me the opportunity to obtain real-life work experience while working on my Japanese in and out of the workplace. The cultural immersion that IHI and MISTI Japan offered were unparalleled, and it was an incredible experience all around. I was able to both develop my technical skills at work as well as explore Japan as a whole. I would highly recommend the experience to anyone who has the opportunity!"
IHI is a heavy industry company rooted in the shipbuilding industry and its spinoffs
My Project at the Autonomous Transport Group:
- Early R&D stages of testing autonomous vehicle controllers that can be retrofitted to existing industry vehicles for use in shipyards and open mines
- Responsible for testing, validating, and visualizing autonomous controllers and path planners for driving passenger cars, tractor-trailers, and articulated haulers operating in both forward and reverse using MATLAB’s SimScape MultiBody
- Implemented literature controllers such as Pure Pursuit, PID-F, and Stanley Method controllers
- Implemented path planners ranging from brute force to RRT* algorithm with visualization of routes
