Jul 1, 2025Month: 2025-07 | Repository: ARUSfs/DRIVERLESS2. The July period delivered critical capability enhancements for automated drive and inspection workflows, improved control reliability, and strengthened system maintainability. Key features delivered include a robust 4WD inspection flow with EPOS handling and parameterization, and complete VSV setup/integration (initial and final states). PID control and estimation enhancements are now live, with a working PID loop, subscription to control estimations, improved estimation precision, and CAN command flow to the CAN bus. Several reliability and quality improvements were completed, including an IMU fix, camera topic corrections, and map/navigation fixes to stabilize path planning, trajectory profiling, and map loading. Repo hygiene improvements and EBS testing simplification were also implemented, along with map storage state management and updated launch/config settings to improve runtime behavior. These changes collectively reduce operational risk, improve measurement fidelity, and enable safer, more predictable vehicle behavior in field deployments. Technologies demonstrated include ROS-based control loops, PID control, CAN (CAN0), EBS arussim integration, EPOS handling, VSV, map storage, launch/config management, and general code maintenance.
