Apr 1, 2026April 2026 monthly summary for itu-auv/auv-software. Focused on reliability, perception, and control improvements to strengthen autonomous operation and business value. Delivered odometry reliability and data integration enhancements to prevent wrench publication when odometry data is stale or missing, with refactoring of pressure odometry handling for robust ROS parameter integration and richer debugging logs. Introduced depth-based object pose estimation using depth data and RANSAC plane fitting to improve navigation and interaction capabilities of the torpedo system. Improved alignment controller state handling with a dedicated cancellation method for clearer, more reliable operation and easier maintenance. Resolved a missing dependency in AUV detection image processing to restore feature functionality. These changes reduce risk in degraded odometry scenarios, enhance perception-based navigation, and accelerate debugging and deployment.

Dec 1, 2025December 2025 — itu-auv/auv-software: Delivered Pose Control for XY Movements (cmd_pose) in the AUV control system. Added separate timeouts for cmd_vel and pose, introduced maximum velocity limits for the pose controller, and refined velocity clamping to the desired velocity. The existing XY controller was temporarily disabled to focus refinement, enabling more precise and stable navigation. This work includes refactor from align_frame_controller to cmd_pose control (commit 2b81446b2256bd4cead4e024db925816f44288b9).

Aug 1, 2025August 2025 — This period focused on improving localization robustness in itu-auv/auv-software by hardening DVL data handling. The DVL data path now publishes zero velocity by default when the DVL is disabled, preventing erroneous odometry and reducing localization drift. The change was implemented with an explicit is_dvl_enabled gate (commit 77f2beaab6be4500355f6a5391bb75b81385af2d) as part of #381. Overall, this reduces risk in degraded sensor scenarios and enhances mission reliability. Key skills demonstrated: defensive programming, feature-flag based data publishing, commit traceability, and end-to-end sensor fusion reliability.
