PROFILE
Cao Muqing
Worked on the castacks/AirStack repository to deliver advanced robotics features focused on multi-domain navigation, gimbal stabilization, and simulation-driven development. Developed domain bridging and waypoint management to enable robust cross-domain communication and navigation planning across ROS 2 domains. Integrated gimbal control with synchronized launch flows, streamlining multi-robot deployments and enhancing operator visibility through RViz configuration. Built a Gimbal Extension for simulated drones, supporting ROS 2 pitch and yaw control, live camera streaming, and a Python-based UI for configuration. Leveraged C++, Python, and YAML to create end-to-end workflows that accelerate testing, validation, and onboarding for ROS-based drone simulation environments.

Mar 1, 2025March 2025 AirStack monthly summary: Delivered a Gimbal Extension for drones in the simulation, enabling attaching a gimbal, ROS 2 control of pitch and yaw, and streaming the live camera feed. Included installation/usage docs and a Python UI/code for configuring and operating the extension. This feature enables end-to-end ROS 2 drone-control workflows in AirStack and accelerates testing and validation of gimbal payloads in simulation, while laying groundwork for future sensor integrations and automated testing pipelines. No major bugs fixed this month; primary focus was feature delivery and comprehensive documentation.

Dec 1, 20242024-12 monthly summary: Focused on advancing gimbal stabilization and multi-robot visualization in AirStack, with end-to-end domain_bridge integration to streamline robot bring-up and improve deployment reliability. Key outcomes include a new RViz visualization config and a Python node publishing gimbal commands derived from drone odometry, plus a domain_bridge-based bring-up flow that syncs gimbal control with the robot launch sequence.
