Month: 2025-01 — Monthly summary highlighting delivered features, fixed issues, business impact, and technologies demonstrated across two repositories: WATonomous/humanoid and WATonomous/wato_wiki. Focused on enabling autonomous navigation, robust environment representation, and improved developer onboarding and deployment reliability.

December 2024 Monthly Summary for WATonomous/humanoid. Key features delivered include an Odometry Spoofer Node for ROS 2 simulation, which publishes odometry by diffs of transforms between the simulation world frame and the robot frame over time, enabling realistic testing without relying on real odometry data. Codebase hygiene and deployment/configuration cleanup was performed across modules, including removal of commented-out code and unused includes, standardized Dockerfile paths, and removal of default modules to enforce explicit control. These efforts improved build reproducibility, maintainability, and onboarding readiness. Overall, the work results in faster, more reliable testing in simulation, clearer ownership of repository configuration, and a solid base for future feature work. Technologies demonstrated include ROS 2, odometry computation from transform deltas, Docker-based deployments, and code quality practices.

Monthly work summary for 2024-11 focused on delivering infrastructure documentation for the WAT Autonomous monorepo, with emphasis on onboarding, architecture clarity, and dev workflow efficiency.
