What I build

I build machines that move on their own, cameras that understand what they see, and software and courses that people use.

Robotics · demining
Landmine detection and extraction robot
A mine-detection rover with a 6-DoF extraction arm, for a Lebanese Army initiative; I built its autonomy software.
Field-tested with dummy mines, with the Lebanese Armed Forces
Drones · embedded
5-inch carbon-fiber FPV drone
A 5-inch carbon-fiber FPV drone, designed and built around thrust, weight, and current calculations, and tuned in Betaflight down to GPS and return-to-home.
Designed, built, and tuned
AI · accessibility
OmniSign
Recognizes Lebanese Sign Language from a camera in real time, the alphabet and everyday words, and turns it into text on phones, the web, and offline devices.
1st prize, Public Choice · National FYP Demo Day 2025
Drones · control research
Rotor-fault detection and recovery for a quadrotor
Teaches a small quadrotor to notice a damaged or lost rotor within a fraction of a second and keep flying.
200 of 200 simulated faults caught, median 30 ms
Vision · road safety
Road-speed audit from one fixed camera
Measures how fast cars drive on one street from a single camera, and says how far each number can be trusted.
95 % of speeds within 1 km/h, on simulated video
AI · thermal imaging
Thermal super-resolution
Makes low-resolution thermal camera images sharper, fast enough to run on the device beside the sensor.
~130 FPS on a laptop GPU, 20–30 FPS on the drone’s Jetson
Computer vision
360° spherical panorama stitching
Turns one handheld phone sweep into a 360° panorama you can walk around in a browser.
Live viewer at 360.ramikronbi.com
Robotics · competition
Brainiacs autonomous race car
A self-driving model car that reads the course’s traffic signs and steers itself, built from scratch in 20 days.
2nd in Future Engineers · WRO Lebanon 2023
Open source · robotics tooling
IMU test bench: live 3D view, noise measurement and calibration
Connect any IMU, flight controller or ROS 2 sensor, see it live in 3D, then measure its vibration, noise and camera alignment.
1 kHz streaming · ROS 2 and Kalibr outputs
Vision · inspection
Fine crack tracing toolkit
Turns a crack mask into measured centrelines: length, width at every point, branches, and breaks bridged.
F1 0.97 on a synthetic benchmark
Open source · control
easyPID
An Arduino library for PID control, the feedback loop that keeps a motor, an arm, or a reading on target.
On the Arduino Library Manager · 2 releases
Embedded · astrophotography
ESP32 barn-door star tracker
A 3D-printed camera mount that turns with the sky, so long night-sky photos stay sharp; designed, not yet built.
Designed, not built; the firmware cancels the barn-door tangent error

For families in a crisis
NASNA: Displaced families, matched with the people who can help.
NASNA connects displaced and war-affected families in Lebanon with NGOs, donors, and volunteers. Its intake form works offline, NGOs see only the cases that match what they cover, and a family’s phone number never appears in their case feed.
For clinics
Basira: A second reading of an eye scan, and the doctor still decides.
For students
BEMO: A classroom desk that notices how you sit.
Speaker
GDG DevFest Tripoli 2025
Quantization, memory budgets, and hardware acceleration, ending with a live demo.
Workshops
Git, GitHub, and the long way into AI

- LAU Byblos SWE Club, coordinator; material by Tarek AlSaleh · April 2026
Mentoring
INJAZ Al-Arab
Technical mentor to two school healthcare teams, LumiScan and Dosely, from first idea to prototype; both were awarded in 2026.
2021202220232024
