Hi, I'm Pranav Tadepalli

A student at Georgia Tech.

About

Hello! I'm a Computer Science major in Georgia Tech's BSMS program, specializing in Devices and Intelligence. At Tech, I've been involved with the LIDAR robotics lab, DuckAI, and RoboJackets. I really enjoy building things, and recently I've had a tons of fun at hackathons at MIT, Stanford, and GT - you can see my projects below. Last summer, I interned at Vermeer on building LIDAR perception systems for autonomous hay-bale moving robots in Iowa.

I graduated from Los Gatos High School, where I led software on the robotics team and worked on research through UCSC's SIP program, studying variable stars in Andromeda with Hubble. . In my spare time, I like photography and bird watching, gardening, and exploring parks. At Tech, I'm involved with Birdwatchers@GT, Trailblazers, and the Community Garden. You can find my resume here.

Some Projects

Style Sync

Made at UC Berkeley's AI Hackathon, Style Sync allows you to both get live custom clothing recommendations based on your feedback / facial emotions and get a platform to share donated clothing items to thrift stores. Uses Hume, Gemini's multimodal capabilities, and vector embeddings to represent clothing items. Check out the demo and code here.

ChAIr

Made at Stanford's Treehacks, this chair is equipped with sensors and cameras to track and detect bad posture with ML. A dashboard gives you live updates and recommendations on your posture, and a buzzer sounds when your posture is especially bad and needs correction. Check out the demo and code here.

NetwARk

Made at MIT Reality Hacks, this project allows you input what type of people you want to meet at an event, wear an AR headset with facial recognition, and see live information about people in your field of view and GPT3.5 advice on who to network with. Check out the demo and code here.

YourMoments

Made at HackGT, this application lets you record a long video and create a short movie that is narrated and editted completely by AI. Check out the demo and code here.

Bite

Made at HackMIT, this watch has a camera to automatically track your calorie intake, vitamin intake, and macro intake. Complete with a React-based dashboard and GPT diet advice. Check out the demo and code here.

LasAR Tag

Made at ImmerseGT, this game lets you play laser tag anywhere, using AR headsets for an immersive experience and a player-tracking camera to track game states. Check out the demo and code here.

Staryeast

Made at Hacklytics, this application uses an LSTM model to generate mood-based song recommendations based on the current weather, time, and your location. Check out the demo and code here.

Tiggub

Made for a Game Jam, this Unity game challenges you to branch your repositories deep into the Earth while avoiding enemies! Check out the demo here.

HacMan

Made at HackGT, this fun game allows you to play Pacman in your browser but controlled with head movements! Check out the code and a demo here.

3D Ball Tracker

A Python script using OpenCV to detect the 3D position of a yellow ball with respect to the webcam. Check out the Github here.

Bird Bath

A few logs I screwed onto a piece of plywood I cut into a rounded triangle using a circular saw. I attached some plastic bowls for bird food and water.

Garden Planters

I used wood from Home Depot, Lowes, old fencing, and wood screws to make some shallow raised beds.

Plant Watering System

Using an Arduino Nano, a relay, a 3D-printed pump, box, and battery case, old tubing, a soil moisture sensor, and some wiring, I made a planter watering system that pumps water to the potted plant when the soil is dry.

Card Shooter

A device made of folded cardboard with a motorized wheel at the bottom that can shoot cards from a stack. Demo here

Yogurt Making Helper

Using an Arduino Nano, an alarm, and a temperature-probe sensor over the one wire interface, I made a device that beeps when milk cools down to 110°F (at which point the culture yogurt is added). The temperature sensor is suspended in the milk using a stand I cadded in Inventor and 3D printed on my Ender 3.

`

Digital Drum

Using the acceleration sensors on a Nexus 7 tablet, I made a Flutter app that acts like a drum stick - it plays a drum sound when it is accelerated and stopped quickly

`

Vine Planter

A raised bed I made from old fence wood and tree support sticks that has an area to attach strings for vines to climb on

`

Chalk Board

A chalk board made with fence wood glued together and spray painted with chalk board spray. Mounted to the wall with mini 3D printed L brackets.

`

Hand Sanitizing Robot

A robot that wanders a room like a roomba, shooting hand sanitizer upwards at hands, which are sensed with infrared and LIDAR. Presentation here

`

Headphone Holder

3D printed hook that holds headphones on a Fully desk. Thingiverse link coming soon.

`

Mini Table

A table I made with 2x4s with a granite countertop.

Photography
