PROFILE

Zachary Miller

Over a three-month period, contributed to the nerdherd/Reefscape2025 repository by developing autonomous navigation, refining subsystem control, and enhancing operator workflows for a robotics platform. Leveraged Java and JSON to implement autonomous path planning using PathPlanner, integrated multi-sensor fusion for improved pose estimation, and overhauled elevator and drive base control with PID tuning and voltage-based commands. Addressed reliability by fixing input bindings and subsystem initialization bugs, while introducing configuration management and telemetry for maintainability. The work emphasized command-based programming and embedded systems, resulting in safer autonomous operation, more precise mechanical alignment, and streamlined deployment for both autonomous and operator-assisted tasks.
