Oct 1, 2025

October 2025: Delivered Nuscenes OSM maps support in the HD Map for WATonomous/wato_monorepo. Implemented configuration updates and C++ loading changes to ingest Nuscenes map data (origins and bounds), and extended docker-compose to mount map data volumes. Completed end-to-end verification of the map loading path with a focused test and committed the changes.

Aug 1, 2025

August 2025 monthly summary: Delivered a unified Dockerfile for the World Modeling component in WATonomous/wato_monorepo, consolidating multiple Dockerfiles into a single, maintainable image. Implemented build and quality improvements, updated pre-commit configurations, and introduced a PR template to streamline reviews and governance. These changes reduce duplication, standardize builds, and improve CI reliability. Technologies used: Docker, pre-commit, CI templates; outcomes include faster feedback loops and easier onboarding for new contributors.

April 2025 (WATonomous/wato_monorepo) focused on enhancing HD Map visualization by delivering Traffic Sign Visualization. A dedicated TrafficSignRegElem class was implemented and integrated into the regulatory element system. Configuration and build scripts were updated to support the new feature, enabling the HD Map pipeline to process and display traffic sign information. This work improves map accuracy, situational awareness, and lays groundwork for future rule-based behaviors.
