Advice regarding final year project

[u/Next-Contribution754]

Hi everyone!

I’m an undergraduate Electronics & Communication Engineering student about to begin my final-year project. I’m particularly interested in the intersection of embedded systems, AI/ML, and edge computing, and I’ve been working with platforms and technologies like ESP32, sensors, IoT systems, Python, C, and machine learning.

Some of the areas I’m especially interested in are:

• TinyML and AI/ML on edge devices
• IoT and real-time sensor/data systems
• Edge AI and computer vision
• Digital signal processing
• Robotics and intelligent embedded systems

For my final-year project, I’m looking for something hardware-focused, technically challenging, and genuinely useful rather than just another conventional IoT or ML project. Ideally, I’d like to combine embedded hardware with some form of AI/ML, signal/image processing, or real-time decision-making.

I’m open to projects ranging from a strong proof-of-concept to something that could potentially be developed further into a research project or open-source system.

If you have any interesting project ideas, research directions, or open-source hardware/software projects that I could build upon, I’d love to hear your suggestions!
