Month: 2025-11 — MissouriMRDT/Autonomy_Software delivered two major features to advance autonomous navigation and data telemetry. Drive Control Optimization and Terrain Adaptability: tuned PID constants, refined drive calculations with absolute roll/pitch handling, and improved drive effort responsiveness across terrain; added logging for speed multipliers and maximum drive effort. Enhanced IMU Data Logging: printed IMU data including angular velocity and linear acceleration to improve camera system data logging. No major bugs fixed this month; focus was on feature delivery, telemetry, and diagnostics. Impact: increased navigation stability and terrain adaptability, richer sensor telemetry, and faster calibration cycles. Technologies/skills demonstrated: control systems (PID), embedded drive calculations, sensor data logging, IMU handling, and telemetry instrumentation.

In April 2025, MissouriMRDT/Autonomy_Software delivered key enhancements to marker-based navigation and ArUco detection, driving safer autonomous operation and improved detection accuracy. The team implemented robust navigation changes to operate effectively in marker-rich environments, including disabling GNSS fusion for group navigation, increasing motor power for reliable motion, and enforcing positional tracking across all cameras. A stop-and-return behavior was added when a marker isn't detected, reducing risk of drift. The ArUco tag detector TorchScript model path was updated to a newer version, improving detection accuracy and inference stability. Visual noise from the detector overlay was reduced by suppressing the tag detector frame display. These changes were validated through targeted testing, aligning with performance and reliability goals for mission-critical autonomy.
