Steven Toy developed an MQTT-based drive control system for the mcgill-robotics/rover-2025 repository, replacing the previous ROS implementation to enhance reliability and interoperability. He designed and implemented a new command and telemetry path using Python, focusing on embedded systems and robotics integration. This migration reduced the project's dependency on ROS, enabling more robust remote operation and laying the foundation for scalable cross-robot control. Steven’s work established a framework for future telemetry and health monitoring, aligning with broader automation goals. The depth of the solution reflects a thoughtful approach to system architecture and cross-system deployment within a one-month timeframe.
February 2026: Delivered MQTT-based replacement for rover drive control in mcgill-robotics/rover-2025. Migrated from ROS to MQTT to improve reliability, interoperability, and remote monitoring. Established a scalable control path and telemetry integration to enable faster cross-system deployment and easier future enhancements. No major bugs fixed this month. Prepared groundwork for ongoing telemetry and health monitoring, reducing ROS dependencies and aligning with the broader automation strategy.
