Worked on the vortexntnu/vortex-auv repository, delivering advanced control and autonomy features for underwater vehicles. Focused on robust algorithm development, this work included implementing a quaternion-based adaptive backstepping controller, configurable thrust allocation, and dynamic pose (DP) control with PID integration. Improvements to vehicle stability and configuration management were achieved through careful tuning of thruster layouts and gripper parameters. CI/CD pipelines were hardened using shell scripting and YAML configuration, ensuring reproducible builds and streamlined debugging. Code quality was enhanced with pre-commit hooks, documentation updates, and removal of magic numbers, resulting in maintainable, testable systems built primarily in C++, Python, and bash.
April 2026: Delivered a robust DP Control and Quaternion framework with cross-platform guidance (dp_rpy) and PID integration, including corrections to quaternion formulation and updated reference filtering/readme. Restored stability by reverting LQR to its previous behavior, while tuning the Nautilus reference filter and min/max/WP comments. Implemented quaternion-based internal orientation for Joystick AUV control and enhanced code quality with readability improvements and helper utilities (removing magic numbers and enabling easier configuration). Strengthened CI/QA through pre-commit and test workflow stabilization, pipeline fixes, and hygiene improvements, reducing build risk and accelerating integration. Updated onboarding and setup documentation to reflect the evolved AUV tooling.

Concise monthly summary for 2026-01. Primary focus: harden the CI/CD workflow for the vortex-auv CasADi installation script to improve reliability, reproducibility, and debugging. Implemented a series of script-level and pipeline changes to ensure CI runs without sudo, correct permissions, and robust path handling across environments.
