"My internship empowered me by making me more knowledgeable about neural networks and their applications. Apart from the technical side, I learned to be a better team-player and communicator. Not only did I develop these skills, I also made new connections and friends on the other side of the world that will hopefully last a lifetime."

Mitsubishi Electric is a huge conglomerate that produces a variety of products from air conditioning units to semiconductors. I worked in one of their research facilities located in Hyogo Prefecture. My project was investigating A.I. applications for manufacturing robots. Specifically I worked with machine learning algorithms to detect anomalies in robot data. I gained experience in industry-level A.I. showing that neural networks could make decent predictions for their unique problems.
