Rishi
Rishi Hancock contributed to the CU-Robotics/firmware repository by refactoring core control and configuration layers, enhancing modularity and maintainability for embedded robotic systems. He reorganized sensor and motor configuration structures in C++ to support diverse hardware, improved PID controller tuning for safer power management, and decoupled estimator and controller components to streamline future development. Rishi also addressed build stability by removing stray artifacts and fixing configuration-layer bugs, ensuring reliable deployments. His work emphasized code readability, documentation, and configuration management, resulting in a more robust firmware baseline that supports faster onboarding, easier integration of new features, and improved cross-team collaboration.

Dec 1, 2024December 2024 monthly summary for CU-Robotics/firmware. Focused on architectural refactor of firmware controllers and estimators, improvements to REV encoder pin definitions, and enhancement of the configuration layer for robot sections. Documentation across controllers, manager, and estimator components was expanded. A compilation-related bug in the configuration layer was fixed by correcting the robot ID reference, reducing build failures and deployment risk. These efforts deliver a more modular, maintainable firmware baseline with faster onboarding and safer multi-robot configurations.

Nov 1, 2024November 2024 performance summary for CU-Robotics/firmware highlights ongoing progress on two primary features aimed at improving configurability, control, and safety of the robotic system. Key features delivered (design groundwork and progress): Sensor and Motor Configuration Layer Refactor — reorganizing configuration IDs and data structures to support new sensor/motor formats and improved ingestion of diverse configurations (commit 6fc970e740e1d34f8100685c062bc13a2552b6f8; status: in progress). Controller Tuning and Power-Limiting Adjustments — refactoring PID setpoints/measures and updating gain indices to optimize control loops across chassis, flywheel, and feeder (commit db23066f908749f0695358693356942a3fd728bc; status: untested). No major bug fixes recorded this month in the provided data; ongoing debugging is in progress. Overall impact: lays groundwork for a more configurable, safer, and maintainable firmware stack, enabling faster integration of new configurations and more power-efficient operation. Technologies/skills demonstrated: C/C++ firmware refactoring, PID control tuning, power-limiting strategies, data-structure redesign, and configuration management.
