Sanskar developed a Point Cloud Manipulation Toolkit for the ECLAIR-Robotics/crackle repository, focusing on enhancing 3D perception workflows in robotics. Using Python, NumPy, and Open3D, Sanskar implemented features for cropping point clouds to bounding boxes, approximating data with spheres or cuboids, and extracting boundary points from overhead views. The toolkit enables more precise object segmentation and compact geometric representations, supporting downstream planning and control tasks. Sanskar’s modular code design and effective use of version control contributed to a robust, maintainable addition to the codebase. The work addressed the need for efficient, boundary-aware 3D data processing in robotics applications.
