Worked on the AVSLab/basilisk repository to enhance simulation capabilities for hinged rigid body dynamics, focusing on dynamic effector attachment and improved configuration management. Developed and refactored C++ modules to enable more realistic modeling of dynamic interactions, using object-oriented programming and simulation development techniques. Integrated new features into the test suite, improved data handling with Eigen::MatrixXd, and clarified hinge point vector logic for better simulation fidelity. Emphasized maintainability by restructuring code, updating documentation, and simplifying tests. Leveraged both C++ and Python to support extensibility and onboarding, resulting in a more modular, testable, and future-proof simulation framework for dynamic systems.

This month (2025-10) centered on enhancing AVSLab/basilisk simulation capabilities through HRB integration, property-manager compatibility, and dynamic-effector extensibility. Key work includes integrating HingedRigidBodyStateEffector into the integrated test suite, refactoring its data handling to MatrixXd for broader compatibility, and enabling HRB to act as a parent for Dynamic Effectors. Release notes were updated to capture these changes, supporting future maintenance and stakeholder awareness. The work improves test coverage, data fidelity, and modularity for hinge-based dynamics within Basilisk.
