Toyota Innovation Challenge

HackathonMay 2026

I participated in the Toyota Innovation Challenge, a hackathon focused on developing innovative solutions for the automotive industry. My team competed in the Collaborative Robots subchallenge, where we developed a prototype for vision-based safe human/robot collaboration in manufacturing environments. I learned to use OpenCV for image processing and computer vision tasks, MediaPipe for pose estimation, and experienced the pains of computer vision. In the end, I gained valuable experiences, made good friends, and won outstanding recognition.

More details and pictures will be added soon. Check out demo videos here!
