Worked on the itu-auv/auv-software repository to enhance navigation reliability and simulation fidelity for autonomous underwater vehicles. Focused on refining slalom navigation by updating the slalom.yaml configuration, adjusting entrance distance and offset parameters to enable smoother path following in constrained environments. Addressed simulation accuracy by correcting the Logitech C922 camera’s horizontal field of view in the URDF, aligning sensor modeling with real-world expectations. Utilized YAML and XML for configuration and modeling, applying skills in configuration management and robotics simulation. Emphasized traceable, config-driven iteration, linking changes to specific issues for reproducibility and streamlined validation in simulation-based development workflows.
December 2025 monthly summary for itu-auv/auv-software: Delivered two targeted updates to boost navigation reliability and simulation fidelity. 1) Slalom Navigation Parameter Tuning — updated slalom.yaml to refine entrance distance and offset settings, enabling smoother and safer path following in constrained channels. Commit: a00c7534c55ff96157e9541cb025e0d6cf63556f (Update slalom.yaml config (#479)). 2) Camera FOV Correction for Simulation Accuracy — fixed the Logitech C922 horizontal FOV in the URDF to align sensor modeling with the simulator, improving test realism. Commit: 3ca3365a0c1b1c5156c89930c0872c69e3e51dee (fix: logitech c922 cam horizontal fov (#491)). Major bugs fixed: improved simulation fidelity by correcting the camera FOV, reducing discrepancy between simulated and expected perception. Overall impact: enhanced navigation reliability in slalom scenarios, faster and safer iteration cycles through config-driven changes and better test alignment. Technologies/skills demonstrated: YAML/configuration management, URDF modeling, parameter tuning workflows, Git-based traceability and end-to-end validation in simulation.
