About Me

My name is Pedro Marques Ferreira da Silva and I was born in Porto. I am MSc Computer and Telematics Engineer and i graduated from Computer and Telematics Engineering at Aveiro University.
I'm currently working as a Master Scholar at CCG - Centro de Computação Gráfica.











IoT

I've developed some IoT projects that gather data and create smart apps.

Robotics

Since I've discovered robotics that I find fascinating frameworks like ROS.

Video Games

I share a great passion for gaming and game development.

Adaptive Persona

I'm someone who learns quickly and adapts to any problem to finds solutions.

My Work

WEBVADERS GL

Space Invaders game in 3D conserving the 2D classic style.
This game was made interely using JavaScript and WebGL.
Original sprites made on 3D Builder.
This one of the many projects devoloped in the Visual Computation university subjects over at Aveiro University.

Reinforcement Auto Pilot For Obstacle Avoidance

This autopilot module is related to the final project of my Machine Learning university subject at Aveiro University. This projects uses a Pygame Window.
This project also employes a Q-Learning algorithm to learn how to move an object around the screen (drive itself) without running into any obstacles.

Study and Adaptation of the Autonomous Driving Simulator CARLA for the ATLASCAR2

This is my master's thesis.
AtlasCar is a researching program for ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) at Aveiro University and CARLA is an autonomous driving simulator created by the CVC in Barcelona and it is often used in autonomous driving research. The focus of this thesis was to replicate the scenarios of the ATLASCAR in a simulated environment provided by CARLA and this was achieved by replicating the sensor setup of the ATLASCAR and attaching that setup to a simulated vehicle model and test the results. The sensor setup was compused of PointGrey RGB Cameras and LIDAR sensors and based on simulated tests it is now possible to use CARLA as way to register data for the ATLASCAR project and with this data build perception and create dataset models of the objects provided by the CARLA simulator.
This project was made under ROS Melodic and OpenCV mainly using Python and C++ and the code used for this project is centered around the ROS-Bridge package that presents the results of the simulation in ROS.
