Academic Assistant :

Abstract

The Academic Assistant is an AI-powered robot designed to enhance educational

and research experiences. It leverages a fine-tuned DeepSeek 1.5B language model

with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to provide accurate, context-aware

responses to academic queries. The system integrates a humanoid robot with

sensors, a Raspberry Pi 3, and Google TTS for interactive, real-time engagement.

Key metrics show a BLEU score of 0.480, ROUGE-1 of 0.820, ROUGE-2 of 0.700,

and ROUGE-L of 0.820, indicating high accuracy and recall. By continuously

learning from user feedback through reinforcement learning, it improves response

quality. This aims to revolutionize education by offering personalized, reliable

academic support, making learning more accessible and engaging for students,

educators and researchers alike
