Muskaan contributed to the MRoboSub/mrobosub robotics software stack, focusing on hardware integration, system migration, and code maintainability. Over six months, Muskaan delivered features such as dynamic thruster mapping, granular motor testing, and a refactored hardware abstraction layer, addressing both configuration flexibility and hardware safety. The work included migrating core components from ROS 1 to ROS 2, updating IMU data processing, and establishing robust packaging and CI/CD pipelines. Using C++, Python, and Docker, Muskaan emphasized clear data semantics, error handling, and maintainable code structure, resulting in a more reliable, testable, and future-ready robotics platform for ongoing development.

September 2025 monthly summary focusing on ROS 2 migration and HAL refactor for MRoboSub stack, delivering foundational ROS2 integration across mrobosub_hal and peripheral packages. This period focused on stabilizing the HAL layer, updating hardware abstraction, and enabling ROS2 builds/deploys, with porting efforts for perception and bin_hsv underway. The changes establish a production-ready ROS2 runtime, reduce legacy maintenance, and enable smoother future feature work.

August 2025: Prepared MRoboSub/mrobosub for ROS 2 deployment by laying groundwork for migration from rospy to rclpy and establishing packaging/test configurations and licensing readiness. Conducted targeted code cleanup to reduce technical debt and simplify maintenance. Progressed packaging readiness and set the stage for a robust ROS 2 distribution. No explicit critical bugs fixed this month; focus was on stability, maintainability, and forward-facing readiness for deployment.

March 2025 MRoboSub/mrobosub monthly summary: Delivered focused testing improvements that increase safety, reliability, and speed of hardware validation. Rewrote motor testing to support granular control via MotorState messages and per-motor powers, with adjusted duration and forward power to enhance granularity and safety. Simplified the motor test launch by removing the rosserial dependency, reducing setup friction and potential failure points. These changes deliver faster validation cycles, easier maintenance, and clearer visibility into hardware behavior during testing.
