Matt Levasseur enhanced the mcgill-robotics/auv-embedded-2025 repository by developing an integrated display and testing interface for an autonomous underwater vehicle. He implemented real-time ROS data visualization for battery and sensor status, added thruster control with a dry-run mode for safe testing, and upgraded the display library to improve compatibility and future extensibility. Using C++ and embedded systems expertise, Matt refactored code and managed library integration to ensure stable initialization and maintainability. His work provided operators with greater situational awareness and safer testing workflows, addressing both hardware interfacing and software reliability in a complex, real-time robotics environment over two months.

March 2025 — Delivered a comprehensive enhancement to the AUV on-device display by integrating ROS data streams for battery and sensor readings, visualizing thruster status, and enabling direct thruster control. Implemented a new battery display, dry-run/test mode, and updated libraries to support graphical output, sensing, and safe testing. Core components were added for thruster control and peripheral functionality, with iterative code updates and library adjustments to improve testing stability and maintainability. The work increases operator situational awareness, reduces risk during testing, and accelerates validation cycles for field deployments.
