Carlos Ruiz Navarro developed core autonomous and perception capabilities for the Rumarino-Team/hydrus-software-stack, focusing on modular robotics software and streamlined deployment. He engineered action-based navigation, integrated computer vision pipelines for mission planning, and enhanced data workflows with ROS and Docker. Carlos refactored propulsion control using C++ and Python, improved Arduino telemetry, and enabled reproducible experiments through automated rosbag management. His work included CLI tooling, CI/CD automation, and migration to SAM2 for segmentation, all supported by comprehensive documentation and codebase restructuring. The result was a maintainable, production-ready stack that accelerated onboarding, improved reliability, and enabled rapid prototyping for robotics research.
