Favour Adekolawole developed core autonomy components for the MonopropUAV repository, focusing on robust state estimation and control for UAVs. Over four months, Favour designed and implemented a reusable Extended Kalman Filter library in Rust, supporting sensor fusion from GPS, LiDAR, and IMU sources. The work included modular traits for plug-and-play sensor integration, comprehensive documentation, and a Chebyshev-based solver for trajectory optimization. Favour also enhanced the attitude estimation and control framework with Model Predictive Control and lossless convexification modules, improved error handling, and introduced tunable EKF parameters, demonstrating depth in algorithm development, numerical analysis, and control systems engineering.
