Worked on the mcgill-robotics/rover-2025 repository, delivering core control and reliability features for a robotics platform over four months. Developed gamepad-driven speed and pan-tilt camera control systems in ROS 2, leveraging Python scripting and JSON configuration to enable smooth, safe teleoperation. Expanded the drive interface with tank drive mode, fault handling, and a DriveMotorStatus ROS service for real-time diagnostics. Enhanced arm control by refactoring firmware architecture and standardizing position command APIs, improving calibration and fault recovery. Addressed integration bugs and standardized data formats, resulting in a more robust, maintainable embedded system for both autonomous and manual rover operation.

May 2025 was focused on enabling robust operator control and real-time rover visibility through integrated drive-speed publishing and pan-tilt camera control. Delivered a turnkey solution that publishes drive speeds, initializes the drive interface, and provides a PanTiltController ROS node that maps gamepad inputs to camera pan/tilt, streamlining remote operation and reducing setup time for field runs. This work lays the foundation for more responsive teleoperation and improved mission safety.

February 2025 monthly summary for mcgill-robotics/rover-2025: Delivered initial rover speed control system with gamepad-based input in ROS 2. The feature loads max speed levels from a JSON config and supports acceleration, deceleration, and gear shifting for smoother, safer rover operation. Completed and committed the speed_control script and integrated it with the input handling. This work establishes a robust control interface and prepares the project for automated testing and future enhancements.
