Worked on the ihmc-alexander-sdk repository to deliver robust ROS messaging interfaces, improve build stability, and enhance 3D modeling fidelity for the Alexander V1 robot. Leveraged C++, CMake, and URDF to define new joint, IMU, and force-torque message types, integrating them into the build system for reliable state communication. Addressed configuration issues by removing invalid dependencies and aligning XML and URDF models, which improved simulation accuracy and controller reliability. Contributed to release management by updating Gradle and Kotlin build configurations, establishing clear version boundaries. The work emphasized configuration management, simulation fidelity, and maintainable build engineering across the SDK lifecycle.
