Leonie Schmidt developed and stabilized a MoveIt-based UR5 robot arm control stack in the una-auxme/arlab repository, integrating high-level planning, execution, and visualization with Orchestrator for automated manipulation tasks. She implemented new MoveIt executables, refined SRDF configurations, and updated launch and RViz workflows, while removing legacy tooling to improve maintainability. Leonie enforced Google C++ style, expanded documentation, and improved packaging reliability using C++ and Python, streamlining onboarding and CI cycles. She also addressed critical bugs in the manipulation pipeline, enhancing automation reliability. Her work demonstrated depth in robotics, ROS, and configuration management, resulting in a robust, maintainable automation system.

October 2025 performance overview: Focused on stabilizing the manipulation pipeline in una-auxme/arlab to reduce runtime errors and improve reliability of automated job execution. Delivered a critical bug fix in job_runner.cpp by correcting function calls to planAndExecutePose and updating the command source, preventing pipeline failures and enabling smoother operation of the manipulation workflow. The change reduces downtime and supports higher automation throughput in the manipulation stack.
