Florencia Battochia developed a new LikelihoodFieldProb sensor model for the Ekumen-OS/beluga repository, focusing on enhancing perception reliability in unmapped environments. She implemented logarithmic probability summation within the model to address numerical underflow, and integrated a Cluster-Based Estimation algorithm to improve robustness against unmapped objects. Her work involved C++ development, algorithm implementation, and sensor modeling, with comprehensive unit tests to ensure correctness and maintainability. By addressing the challenges of probabilistic robotics and sensor data interpretation, Florencia delivered a feature that enables safer autonomous operation, demonstrating depth in both technical approach and attention to code quality within a complex robotics context.

April 2025 - Ekumen-OS/beluga: Implemented LikelihoodFieldProb sensor model with log-domain probability summation to prevent underflow and integrated Cluster-Based Estimation to improve robustness against unmapped objects. Added unit tests for the new model. Commit 876fc117c7de47cfc7692b8c0f61e09257418189 ('Add likelihood prob sensor model and enable Beluga's flavour of clustering', #476). Business value: more reliable perception in unmapped environments, enabling safer autonomous operation. Technologies demonstrated: sensor-model engineering, logarithmic probability math, clustering algorithms, unit testing, and code quality.
