Month: 2026-01. Focused feature work on Gazebo simulation for rocker joints in RoboJackets/urc-software. Delivered Rocker Position Control Plugins for Gazebo, supporting differential and average rocker joint control to improve simulation fidelity and testing of rocker dynamics. Core commit linked: e03fc238fc6791b73af3ff4e0a5453557b604925 with message 'working diff bar functionality'. Major bugs fixed: None reported this month; efforts prioritized feature development and stabilization of the Gazebo plugins. Overall impact: enhanced simulation realism for rocker mechanisms, enabling more reliable hardware-in-the-loop testing, smoother tuning, and faster iteration cycles. This work strengthens the path to hardware deployment and reduces integration risk. Technologies/skills demonstrated: C++ ROS plugin development, Gazebo integration, robotics control design for joint actuation, Git/version control, and modular software design for ROS-based simulation tools.

November 2025 focused on end-to-end simulation data flow, sensor fusion improvements, and GPS-enabled validation to strengthen perception, navigation, and testing workflows in the URC software stack. Key work included bridging Gazebo sensor streams into ROS, integrating IMU data with covariance-based fusion, and enabling GPS in simulation to support geo-referenced testing.
