PROFILE

Anna Joy

Anna Burgess developed and refined embedded actuator control features for the mcgill-robotics/auv-embedded-2025 repository over four months, focusing on servo and motor workflows for autonomous underwater vehicles. She implemented Arduino and C++-based servo control demonstrations, introduced current-sensing actuator logic, and reorganized test suites to streamline validation and onboarding. Her work included refactoring actuator control code for maintainability and responsiveness, clarifying hardware-software integration, and preparing the system for future ROS integration. By leveraging skills in embedded systems, microcontroller programming, and test automation, Anna delivered maintainable, hardware-focused solutions that improved test coverage, code clarity, and the reliability of actuator operations.

February 2025 monthly summary for mcgill-robotics/auv-embedded-2025. Key outcomes include the removal of a redundant Grabber_with_button file to simplify the codebase and the delivery of Arduino sketches for current-sensing based actuator control, including a ROS-free test harness and a hardware-initialization variant (servos and LEDs) implementing open/close logic driven by current readings. These efforts enhance testing speed and reliability, reduce maintenance burden, and establish a solid foundation for future ROS integration. Technologies demonstrated include C++, Arduino, current sensing, servo/LED control, and embedded system integration. Business value delivered includes faster hardware validation, safer actuator operation, and cleaner architecture with clearer ownership.
