Joytu Khisha

I'm an Instrumentation & Control Engineer and AI/ML researcher with over seven years of combined experience in oil & gas process automation, robotics research, and software development. I hold an MSc in Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning from the University of Adelaide — funded by the Australia Awards (AusAID) scholarship — and a BSc in Computer Science & Engineering from North South University, Dhaka.

My most significant project is DART, a full humanoid robot platform at the Australian Institute for Machine Learning (AIML). As my MSc capstone, I engineered the robot’s "brain," specifically developing the software architecture for real-time pose mimicry using MediaPipe. The system integrates dual 7-DOF collaborative arms with voice-command capabilities powered by OpenAI Whisper, YOLOv8x object detection, and PPO reinforcement learning — all under ROS1. Featured on Australia Awards Bangladesh.

Currently in Dhaka, working in AI integration at Orogenic Resources, and actively seeking opportunities in robotics and AI research.

MSc Capstone · AIML, University of Adelaide · Jan 2023 – Dec 2024

DART — Humanoid Robot Platform

Full humanoid robot platform for real-time human motion mimicry, voice control, and AI-driven manipulation. Dual 7-DOF RealMan RM75 collaborative arms, mobile AGV base, 2-DOF servo head, and dexterous hands — all coordinated under ROS1.

Perception pipeline uses MediaPipe Pose (33 landmarks) with custom geometric cosine-similarity matching against a pre-recorded pose database. Voice control via offline OpenAI Whisper with 23-command fuzzy-matched vocabulary. Object detection via YOLOv8x-WorldV2 with runtime class switching. RL manipulation uses PPO (Stable Baselines3) trained in Gazebo.

Supervised by Dr. Feras Dayoub, Associate Professor — Embodied AI & Robotic Vision Group, AIML. Featured on Australia Awards Bangladesh.
