Over three months, Kalimul Kaif developed and enhanced core robotic subsystems for the StuyPulse/Aunt-Mary repository, focusing on climb control, motion profiling, and operator workflows. He architected a robust climb subsystem with abstract interfaces, PID tuning, and CANcoder feedback, enabling safe and precise climbing. Kaif introduced dynamic motion profile constraints for the arm and elevator, optimizing movement for both autonomous and teleoperated modes. His work included command-based programming in Java, subsystem integration, and detailed logging for observability. By resolving critical bugs and refining driver controls, Kaif improved reliability, maintainability, and field readiness, demonstrating depth in embedded systems and robotics engineering.

March 2025 monthly summary for StuyPulse/Aunt-Mary focusing on climb control enhancements and motion profiling. Delivered two major features to improve reliability, safety, and operator efficiency: (1) Climb Shimmy command and SHIMMY state with DPad-based sequences, enabling better climb alignment and state-aware control, and (2) Dynamic motion profile constraints by mode for arm and elevator, differentiating autonomous and teleop behavior to optimize movement profiles and reduce wear.
