PROFILE

Joseph Ciaravella

Contributed to the mcgill-robotics/rover-2025 repository by developing a Wheels minimap UI component using React and CSS, aligning its styling with existing controls to enhance operator visibility and interface consistency. Established groundwork for dynamic wheel-angle display by preparing the component for future ROS integration, while also improving repository hygiene through targeted .gitignore updates to exclude environment files. Later, implemented real-time GPS integration via a ROS WebSocket, leveraging ROSLIB and React’s useEffect to manage data subscriptions and state updates. This enabled live GPS data flow from a ROS node to the UI, supporting location-aware navigation and robust frontend development practices.
