March 2026 performance summary for RoBorregos development teams. Delivered a mix of UX, reliability, and maintainability improvements across RoBorregos/home2 and RoBorregos/Home-Docs. Key features delivered include: (1) Audio Feedback System Enhancements: dedicated audio feedback node for listening chime, removal of chime logic from kws_oww, and asset installation updates via CMake with WAV assets and ament_index_python for asset discovery, improving audio handling and user feedback. (2) Task Status Management UI: HRI-topic-driven dynamic Start Button UI with StartButton component and reset-on-end logic, improving operator visibility and task flow. (3) Codebase Refactor: moved HRI constants to hri_tasks.py to improve organization and maintainability. (4) ROS Reliability and Networking: auto-reconnect for ROS client and retry logic for video streaming, reducing downtime during network hiccups. (5) Node Monitoring and Resource Management: ROS 2 node monitor for CPU, memory, and GPU usage with new MonitorReport messages and Docker Compose GPU monitoring, enabling proactive resource planning. (6) UI Responsiveness and Edge Impulse Integration: responsive UI with optimized overlays and Edge Impulse SDK integration (TensorFlow Lite Micro, CMSIS-DSP/NN) for enhanced inferencing. (7) Navigation Lifecycle Management: lifecycle-based dependency handling for navigation components to improve controller action reliability. (8) Documentation Site Performance: instant navigation optimization and responsive sidebar for faster onboarding and improved docs experience.

February 2026 monthly performance summary for RoBorregos/Home-Docs focusing on documentation modernization, navigation improvements, and archival governance.

January 2026 monthly summary for RoBorregos/home2: Delivered a Dynamic Task-Specific Display System with integrated video streaming and audio state management, enabling task-specific UIs (GPSR, Storing Groceries) with real-time media handling. Refactored display components for maintainability, migrated the display pipeline from WebSocket to roslib-based ROS communication, and updated launch scripts and documentation to reflect the new architecture. Introduced a thinking/loading screen with audio feedback and refined audio state handling across components. Performed targeted refactors and cleanup to remove legacy code and stabilize the display pipeline, improving reliability for future task displays.

During 2025-11, RoBorregos/Home-Docs delivered a focused set of frontend UX improvements and a Streamlit migration for the HRI module, consolidating UI for HRI tasks and completing frontend display enhancements. The work included documentation updates and asset preparation to support the HRI 2025 rollout, including team profiles, visual styles, and hidden sections for TTS and embeddings. The changes were implemented with a stable commit set across the repo, enabling faster iterations and improved user interaction.

October 2025: Delivered real-time ROS message UI enhancements and a WebSocket hook refactor in RoBorregos/home2. Implemented new UI components for ROS data visualization (audio state indicator, message overlays, map modals, message items, and question modals) and refactored WebSocket handling into a reusable custom hook to improve modularity, maintainability, and live data throughput.

July 2025 monthly summary focused on delivering high-impact features for display systems, improving documentation discoverability, and stabilizing real-time audio and Q&A flows across two repositories. Key outcomes include: (1) documentation enhancements for the HRI Display Guide with CPU/GPU setup and index updates; (2) a visual, responsive audio input experience with listening-state feedback and refined message handling; (3) an integrated Q&A display flow enabling questions and answers via ROS and WebSocket channels. These efforts improve onboarding, user experience, and cross-system communication, delivering measurable business value in developer productivity, system reliability, and end-user usability.
