Worked on the rsx-utoronto/rsx-rover repository, delivering features for robotic arm control, hardware-software integration, and remote sensing. Developed and tuned control algorithms for precise arm movement, integrating joystick and simulation workflows using ROS and Python. Enhanced safety and reliability through real-world testing, GUI development, and recalibration of speed limits. Expanded the rover’s capabilities by implementing telemetry pipelines, BLE-based environmental sensing, and CAN communication for motor control. Improved data visualization and serial communication for spectrometer integration. Leveraged C++, Python, and ROS2 to streamline debugging, accelerate field testing, and ensure robust, scalable operation across embedded systems and robotics applications.

5 Commits • 3 Features
Feb 1, 2026February 2026 focused on solidifying the rsx-rover's hardware-software integration and establishing data pipelines for remote sensing and telemetry. Delivered unified hardware control and telemetry groundwork, expanded data acquisition pipelines for spectrometer and BLE environmental sensing, and laid groundwork for ROS2-based camera publishing to support streaming telemetry and sensor data. These efforts reduce integration risk, accelerate field testing, and expand observability for rover operations, enabling faster decision-making and more robust field performance.

May 1, 2025May 2025: Focused on readiness for physical testing of rsx-rover's robotic arm by delivering real-world control and visualization enhancements, and stabilizing hardware-software integration. Key work includes consolidating arm control improvements (homing, button mappings, kinematics, safety limits, and motor speed tuning) and preparing for physical testing; improving arm visualization by renaming the viz topic and removing noisy live position data; addressing early real-arm testing issues and tuning speeds to achieve reliable operation. These changes reduce risk for hardware validation and demonstrate strong control, integration, and debugging capabilities.
