PROFILE
Flavie Qin
Flavie Qin contributed to the mcgill-robotics/rover-2025 repository by developing core robotics features over four months, focusing on control systems, embedded integration, and simulation. She migrated simulation code from ROS 1 to ROS 2 using Python, enabling future-proofed tooling and compatibility. Flavie implemented joystick-driven rover steering and rotation, refactored rotation logic for maintainability, and introduced comprehensive unit tests to ensure reliability. She also delivered inverse-kinematics-based tilt control for the robotic arm, adding robust error handling and test coverage. Her work included dynamic hardware port discovery and code hygiene improvements, demonstrating depth in ROS, Python scripting, and robotics software development.

Jan 1, 2026Month: 2026-01. Focused on delivering features that enhance hardware integration, ROS reliability, and code quality for mcgill-robotics/rover-2025. Key outcomes: (1) Dynamic ACM port retrieval for firmware nodes enabling more flexible hardware communication; (2) Flexible ROS node initialization via argument parsing improving deployment and reusability; (3) Code style cleanup (end-of-file newline) to meet standards and readability. No major bugs fixed this month. Impact: reduced integration friction, faster onboarding of new hardware, and improved maintainability. Technologies demonstrated: ROS, Python scripting, dynamic port discovery, argument parsing, and general code hygiene.

Oct 1, 2024In October 2024, the rover-2025 project delivered ROS 2 compatibility for the simulation by migrating ROS 1 (rospy) code to ROS 2 (rclpy). This included updating node initialization, publishers and subscribers, as well as the main loop and shutdown logic to conform to ROS 2 APIs. The work enables the simulation environment to run within a ROS 2 framework and positions the project for ROS 2-based tooling and future integrations.
