PROFILE

Joseph Ciaravella

Joseph Ciaravella contributed to the mcgill-robotics/rover-2025 repository by developing a Wheels minimap UI component and integrating real-time GPS data into the rover’s interface. He used React and TypeScript to build a static minimap aligned with existing UI controls, preparing it for future ROS-driven updates. Joseph also implemented a ROSLIB-based communication layer using WebSockets, enabling live GPS data flow from a ROS node to the UI and managing subscription lifecycles with React’s useEffect. Additionally, he improved repository hygiene by updating .gitignore to exclude environment files, supporting maintainable development practices and setting the groundwork for further ROS integration.

May 2025 highlights for mcgill-robotics/rover-2025: delivered GPS Integration via ROS WebSocket, establishing real-time GPS data flow from a dummy ROS node to the UI. This enables location-aware navigation and planning in the rover. Implemented a ROSLIB-based communication layer and lifecycle management (React useEffect) to manage subscriptions and data processing, ensuring robust updates to latitude/longitude in UI/state. The feature connects via rosbridge WebSocket to a GPS topic and is tied to commit 835180a174d46b9988b8487eed6f49949195ddd9.
