Worked on thedropbears/pyreefscape, delivering autonomous robotics features focused on reliable algae collection and safer teleoperation. Over four months, implemented multi-leg path planning, trajectory generation, and robust state machines for climber and intake controls using Python and embedded systems techniques. Enhanced system safety by refining chassis disable logic, improving turret and camera control, and simplifying ballistics and measurement workflows. Refactored core components, such as replacing the placer with a depositor and removing deprecated modules, to streamline the codebase. Prioritized code clarity, testability, and operational reliability, resulting in faster validation cycles and more predictable autonomous and teleoperated robot behavior.

Jun 1, 2025June 2025: Delivered two high-impact features for thedropbears/pyreefscape, strengthening control flow, improving user interaction, and reducing technical debt. Climber readiness gating moved into the climber state machine with direct A-button retraction, boosting reliability and usability. Coral Depositor component removed from autonomous base and robot control, simplifying the codebase and reducing runtime risk. Tests updated to reflect state-machine changes, improving coverage and clarity. Result: more reliable missions, faster iteration, and easier maintenance.

Feb 1, 2025February 2025 (thedropbears/pyreefscape) focused on boosting algae shooting reliability, multi-leg path planning, and testing capabilities. Key deliverables include algae pose variable management with defined intake, branch, and shoot pose vars, plus alignment of shoot pose to the centre using translation waypoints. Completed multi-leg path generation for left, centre, and right legs, including a CentreAuto refactor and trajectory updates. Regenerated Alliance Start/StartToBranch paths to align with updated trajectories. Addressed path integrity and safety issues: removed a duplicate waypoint in AlgaeCDToShoot, ensured zero chassis velocity before algae shooting, and eliminated retreating paths to fix routing issues. System updates replaced the placer with a depositor and updated the injector; test-mode UI buttons and tuck controls were added to improve testing. Overall impact includes reduced operational risk, more reliable autonomous path planning, and faster validation cycles, enabling safer, repeatable deployments.
