Contributed to the WATonomous/wato_monorepo by developing and integrating advanced sensor fusion and configuration features for autonomous vehicle perception. Delivered a multi-sensor LiDAR aggregator with real-time data fusion, online offset estimation, and robust time synchronization using C++ and ROS, enhancing data reliability and throughput. Improved legacy data workflows by adding support for older ROS bags and publishing comprehensive user documentation. Enhanced system maintainability through CI/CD optimizations, YAML-based configuration management, and detailed operational runbooks. Focused on robust documentation and configuration, the work emphasized reliability, operator onboarding, and efficient test workflows, addressing both technical depth and practical deployment needs in robotics.

May 1, 2026May 2026: Focused on enabling legacy data workflows in WATonomous/wato_monorepo. Implemented Lidar Aggregator improvements by adding missing ROS recording topics and published a comprehensive user manual to use the lidar aggregator with old ROS bags that lack EIDOS topics. This work reduces data loss risk, improves integration for legacy datasets, and accelerates onboarding for teams handling historical data.

Mar 1, 2026March 2026 deliverables focused on real-time, multi-sensor LiDAR data fusion and robust time synchronization within the WATonomous stack. Completed end-to-end integration of a LiDAR Aggregator capable of fusing data from multiple LiDAR sensors with online offset estimation, and incorporated this capability into the existing launch/configuration pipeline. Added testing and validation support for GPS-based synchronization, including a dedicated ROS node for PPS testing and alignment with GPS timestamps, plus improvements to time synchronization with GPS/IMU data and to clock offset computation between system time and GPS time. Multithreading enhancements increased aggregation throughput and reduced latency. Patchwork++ integration was advanced with lidar aggregation in the sensor bring-up, merged point clouds for Patchwork++, and associated config updates. Addressed multiple code quality and stability issues (pre-commit, clang-format, lint) and resolved build-time and runtime issues (latching, fixes to timestamp handling) to improve reliability and maintainability.
