Sebastian Brod developed and refined core simulation features for the purdue-arc/sphero-swarm repository, focusing on boundary collision handling and movement logic for Sphero robots. Using Python and leveraging skills in collision detection, control systems, and simulation, he improved boundary enforcement, wall reflection, and speed reversal to ensure stable and realistic Sphero behavior. Sebastian addressed edge-case errors such as out-of-bounds conditions and bonded group collisions, enhancing simulation fidelity and robustness. He also fixed a turning bug and improved movement vector calculations, laying the groundwork for scalable bonding logic. His work contributed to more reliable demonstrations and larger-scale robotic simulations.

February 2025 monthly summary for purdue-arc/sphero-swarm: Delivered boundary collision handling improvements to the Sphero simulation, enhancing boundary enforcement, wall reflection, and target recalculation for both individual spheros and bonded groups. Aligned screen dimensions with defined boundaries and implemented speed reversal on collisions to maintain stable motion. This work directly improves simulation fidelity, stability, and user experience, while reducing edge-case errors. Notable commits fixed edge cases such as out-of-bounds errors and bonded motion when colliding with walls, contributing to more robust behavior in production demonstrations and tests.
