Worked on the ECLAIR-Robotics/crackle repository to enhance planning-perception integration and object handling in a robotics framework. Over three months, contributed features and fixes that improved the reliability of the planning scene, including integrating the main planner with the vision server and refining object visualization for operators. Addressed collision mesh handling in the object detection pipeline, increasing the accuracy of find_objects() through Python and ROS-based development. Delivered enhancements to the gripper pickup pipeline, resolving depth control issues and stabilizing manipulation workflows. Utilized C++, Python, and 3D modeling to support robust end-to-end integration across vision, planning, and manipulation modules.
April 2026: Delivered Gripper Pickup Enhancement and Planning Scene Object Handling Improvements for ECLAIR-Robotics/crackle. Key changes include merging sans_planning_scene into main (#43) and updates across perception, planning, and manipulation components: crackle_vision/vision_server.py, crackle_moveit/moveit_manipulation.cpp/.hpp, main planner, and related services. Resolved critical grip/pickup issues (gripper previously over-inserting and failing to grip) and stabilized the pickup pipeline with debugging/demo services. Refactored startup workflow (bash_scripts/start_crackle.sh) and integrated new gripper STL/model assets. Added sphere-compatibility and syntax fixes, improving build stability and test readiness.
