Kartik Desai enhanced autonomous navigation reliability in the WE-Autopilot/Red-Team repository by developing collision-aware reward mechanisms and refining termination logic within the SAL module and F1Tenth gym environment. Using Python and leveraging skills in reinforcement learning and robotics simulation, Kartik introduced wall normal calculations, centerline rewards, and penalties based on collision angles to improve agent behavior in collision-prone scenarios. The work included targeted code cleanup, such as removing unused references and debug prints, which improved maintainability and commit traceability. These updates enabled safer, more stable training and testing cycles, supporting faster iteration and clearer onboarding for future contributors.
