PROFILE
Andrew C. Morrow
Over the past year, this developer led the engineering of the viam-modules/universal-robots repository, delivering robust robotic arm control and trajectory planning features. They modernized the build and CI/CD pipeline using CMake and Conan, enhanced reliability through modular C++ architecture, and improved diagnostics with advanced logging and data visualization. Their work included algorithm optimization for trajectory generation, strong type safety, and asynchronous programming to support safe, responsive motion control. By integrating Python scripting for testing and automation, and upgrading dependencies like the Trajex library, they ensured maintainability, cross-platform compatibility, and reduced deployment risk for production robotics environments.

Mar 1, 2026March 2026 performance summary for viam-modules/universal-robots. Focused on reliability, diagnostics, and platform integration to deliver robust UR automation within the Viam ecosystem. Key features delivered and reliability improvements: - Trajectory generation enhancements: visualization of failed trajectories for diagnostics, colinearization before blends to improve path continuity, a round-trip trajectory generation tool, and a randomized trajectory testing framework to enhance robustness and maintainability of trajectory generation. Major bug fixes: - Path reversal handling: resolved segmentation issues by ensuring adjacent circular blends do not create zero-length segments, improving path continuity. Module configuration and integration: - UR module configuration and UR model integration: comprehensive configuration files, CI/CD workflows, and kinematic models for multiple UR models to ensure robust control and integration with the Viam platform. Dependency and build improvements: - Trajex integration and dependency upgrades: refactored build to integrate the Trajex module from a new repository and upgraded the trajex dependency to 0.100.0-rc1 for better performance and maintainability. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Increased reliability and predictability of UR-based automation on the Viam platform, reduced debugging and iteration time, and improved diagnostics and testing coverage for trajectory planning. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Advanced trajectory generation algorithms and tooling, diagnostics visualization, randomized testing frameworks, CI/CD configurations, and multi-model integration with external dependencies.
