Aug 1, 2025

August 2025 (ARUSfs/DRIVERLESS2) - Demonstrated strong safety focus and disciplined parameter tuning across multiple driving scenarios. The work delivered in 2025-08 produced a safer, more reliable autonomy stack with clearer configuration controls and improved perception handling for autocross, enabling faster iteration and deployment readiness. Key features delivered: - Global vehicle dynamics and launch configuration tuning: broad calibration across launch files and driving scenarios (acceleration, skidpad, trackdrive, autocross) to tighten target speeds, acceleration limits, track lengths, look-ahead distances, friction coefficients, and controller parameters. - Autocross perception and cone management enhancements: finish line offset, cone-related settings, slow_straight_cropping, and a dedup logic to remove cones near large cone positions before adding new ones. Major bugs fixed: - Brake and control system stability fixes: addressed looseness in the vehicle's control system and corrected hydraulic pressure clamping, improving steering checks and acceleration command handling for safer operation. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Improved safety and reliability across critical driving modes with more predictable throttle and steering behavior; streamlined tuning workflows across launch, skidpad, trackdrive, autocross, and perception components; reduced risk of duplicate cones and mis-detections in autocross scenarios; faster, data-driven iteration enabled by clear commit history. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Vehicle dynamics tuning, perception and cone management, configuration management and parameter calibration across multiple scenarios; robust use of version control to document changes; cross-functional collaboration between driving, perception, and control domains.
