PROFILE

Anna Joy

Worked on the mcgill-robotics/auv-embedded-2025 repository, delivering features and reliability improvements for embedded actuator and sensor control. Developed Arduino and C++ firmware to manage servo motors, implement current-sensing actuator logic, and streamline hardware test automation. Refactored actuator control code for maintainability, clarified configuration, and improved runtime responsiveness, while reorganizing test suites to accelerate validation and onboarding. Enhanced depth sensor reliability by stabilizing initialization and increasing data publishing rates, supporting safer autonomous operation. Focused on embedded systems, robotics, and sensor integration, the work emphasized clear architecture, robust hardware-software integration, and efficient test coverage to support ongoing development and mission readiness.

February 2025 monthly summary for mcgill-robotics/auv-embedded-2025. Key outcomes include the removal of a redundant Grabber_with_button file to simplify the codebase and the delivery of Arduino sketches for current-sensing based actuator control, including a ROS-free test harness and a hardware-initialization variant (servos and LEDs) implementing open/close logic driven by current readings. These efforts enhance testing speed and reliability, reduce maintenance burden, and establish a solid foundation for future ROS integration. Technologies demonstrated include C++, Arduino, current sensing, servo/LED control, and embedded system integration. Business value delivered includes faster hardware validation, safer actuator operation, and cleaner architecture with clearer ownership.
