PROFILE
Ariana Li
Arian Ali contributed to the mcgill-robotics/rover-2025 repository by migrating the rover arm control simulation and visualization from ROS 1 to ROS 2, updating node lifecycle management, class inheritance, and API usage to align with ROS 2 standards. Using Python and ROS2, Arian improved maintainability and testability, reducing technical debt and enabling future extensibility. In a subsequent feature, Arian implemented a shoulder tilt control system for the rover arm, integrating joystick input, dynamic joint limits, and validation tests in C++ and Python. This work established a robust foundation for advanced arm manipulation, emphasizing safe operation and forward-kinematics consistency.

Feb 1, 2025February 2025 – mcgill-robotics/rover-2025: Key feature delivered: Arm Tilt Control System (Shoulder) with Validation Tests. No major bugs fixed this month. Overall impact: enables precise shoulder tilt with safe, test-validated control, improving manipulation capabilities and reliability; establishes groundwork for expanded arm motions and safer operation in field scenarios. Technologies/skills demonstrated: joystick-to-joint control mapping, joint-limit refactoring, tilt-control integration (upDownTilt) with current angles, and test-driven validation of tilt behavior and forward-kinematics consistency.

Nov 1, 2024November 2024: Focused on migrating the rover arm control simulation and visualization from ROS 1 to ROS 2 in mcgill-robotics/rover-2025. Completed end-to-end port, aligning components with ROS 2 lifecycle, updating class inheritance, node initialization, subscriptions, and main loop to use rclpy and ROS 2 API. The migration reduces technical debt, improves stability and future extensibility, and paves the way for advanced features and tighter integration with the ROS 2 ecosystem.
