Andrew Kan developed a ROS-integrated actuator servo control feature for the mcgill-robotics/auv-embedded-2025 repository, focusing on embedded systems and robotics using C++. He implemented a foundational ROS node that enables external and automated control of the base actuator, supporting both manual positioning and automatic sweep within a 0-180° range via the 'servo_position' topic. The solution included updated actuator code to receive position commands and a new subscriber for sweep logic, consolidating multiple changes into a cohesive user-facing capability. This work improved experimental automation and remote operability, providing a maintainable, topic-based interface for future ROS-driven control workflows.
April 2025: Delivered a ROS-integrated actuator servo control feature for mcgill-robotics/auv-embedded-2025, enabling external and automated control of the base actuator via ROS. Implementations include a foundational ROS node with 0-180° constrained positioning via the 'servo_position' topic, base actuator code to receive position commands, and a new servo sweep subscriber with updated position listener topics. The work consolidates multiple commits into a single, user-facing capability: external ROS control of the actuator servo for both manual positioning and automatic sweep. No major bugs reported; the integration emphasizes maintainability and clear topic-based interfaces. Business value includes improved experimental automation, remote operability, and a robust foundation for further ROS-driven control workflows.
