PROFILE

Francis Rojas

Francisco Rodríguez developed core robotics features for the ARUSfs/DRIVERLESS2 repository, focusing on robust path following, motor control, and device integration. He implemented a Pure Pursuit path-following system in C++ to improve trajectory tracking and controller reliability, and refactored the codebase for maintainability using CMake and ROS 2. Francisco overhauled the EPOS motor interface, introducing dynamic linking and CANopen-based device communication, and enhanced position offset management for calibration accuracy. His work included memory management improvements, new data subscriptions, and expanded test coverage, resulting in safer autonomous operation and a solid foundation for future enhancements in embedded robotics systems.

Jan 1, 2025

January 2025: Delivered a major feature upgrade for ARUSfs/DRIVERLESS2 by integrating a CANopen-based EPOS interface and position offset management. Implemented device connection via CANopen, updated the position offset calculation, and added subscriptions for extensometer data and range check status to enable real-time reception and processing. Strengthened testing with set_position_offset validation. This work improves interoperability, calibration accuracy, and data visibility for safety-critical operations.

December 2024: Delivered EPOS interface overhaul integrated with ROS 2 for the ARUS Driverless pipeline. Consolidated the EPOS interface, introduced C++ and Python-based ROS 2 nodes, and enabled dynamic linking to the EPOS command library. Refactored the codebase into dedicated source/header files and updated build/configuration for maintainability and easier ROS 2 upgrades. Implemented memory management fixes and node reformatting to improve stability; split epos_interface_node into cpp and hpp for clearer interfaces. These changes reduce maintenance burden, enable smoother deployments, and set the stage for future enhancements.
