Pedro Arias contributed to JdeRobot/RoboticsInfrastructure and RoboticsAcademy by developing and refining simulation infrastructure for drone robotics. He built features such as a dual-camera quadrotor model with ROS-Gazebo integration, streamlined simulation launchers, and consolidated configuration files using YAML and Python. Pedro improved simulation fidelity by standardizing physics parameters and enabling simulation time synchronization, which enhanced testing accuracy. He also introduced new world configurations and database integration for the Follow Road exercise, leveraging JavaScript and React for UI components. His work reduced setup complexity, improved reliability, and enabled scalable onboarding, reflecting a strong focus on maintainability and robust simulation environments.

February 2025 monthly summary: Delivered simulation-focused features across RoboticsInfrastructure and RoboticsAcademy, improving testing fidelity, onboarding, and maintainability. Key work includes enabling sim time in DroneWrapper, introducing the Follow Road Harmonic universe (world configuration and launcher) and its database integration, and performing a world file rename for consistency. RoboticsAcademy gained templates, UI components, and HAL/database wiring for the Follow Road exercise, enabling faster setup and automated testing. No critical bugs were reported this month; maintenance work reduces toil going forward. Business value: more reliable simulation-based testing, smoother onboarding, and scalable exercise templates.
