Contributed to the ISSUIUC/MIDAS-Software repository by developing and refining embedded flight control features over four months, focusing on IMU-based orientation tracking, state estimation, and robust autopilot logic. Leveraged C++ and C to integrate the BNO08x IMU, implement quaternion-based Extended Kalman Filters, and enhance sensor fusion for accurate attitude and tilt estimation. Improved system reliability by refactoring control algorithms, tuning sensor noise parameters, and stabilizing build processes. Addressed compile-time and logic bugs, enabling safer and more precise navigation under dynamic conditions. The work demonstrated depth in aerospace engineering, embedded systems, and algorithm development for real-time sensor data processing.
February 2026: Delivered Enhanced MIDAS GNC with Quaternion EKF and Tilt/Orientation Tracking. Implemented quaternion-based EKF for robust attitude estimation, added tilt calculation from quaternion data, tuned sensor noise parameters, and refactored constants; cleaned debug output for production. Stabilized EKF modules and achieved MQEKF build stability, including removal of serial dependency and constants updates. Demonstrated improved attitude accuracy, tilt control readiness, and overall system reliability, enabling safer and more precise navigation.
