Lue Chen developed a Boat Simulation Visualizer for the UBCSailbot/sailbot_workspace repository, focusing on enhancing simulation tooling for autonomous boat projects. The visualizer processes GPS data to plot the boat’s path and generates GIF outputs, providing visual feedback on movement and heading during simulations. Built using Python and ROS2, the tool integrates with launch configurations, allowing users to enable real-time visualization and mock data through launch-time flags. This feature streamlines the debugging and validation process by reducing iteration time and improving validation quality. Lue’s work demonstrates depth in data visualization, Python programming, and ROS-based simulation workflow integration within the project.
