Worked on the NUbots/NUbots repository to enhance robotic perception, calibration, and recovery workflows over three months. Focused on improving fall recovery by introducing stabilization delays and configurable upper-body relaxation, refining camera extrinsics for better spatial alignment, and updating sensor thresholds to increase reliability. Leveraged C++, YAML, and behavioral programming to implement robust servo control and camera calibration enhancements, particularly for the Frankie and Kevin robots. Emphasized configuration management and embedded systems practices to streamline calibration processes and improve perception pipeline stability, resulting in safer autonomous operation and more maintainable sensor fusion across the robotics platform without introducing critical bugs.

Jun 1, 2026June 2026 focused on delivering a targeted sensor calibration improvement in NUbots/NUbots. Implemented a Camera Calibration Enhancement for the Left Camera by tuning the extrinsics (roll, pitch, yaw) to improve alignment and perception performance. This work was implemented via commit 9360f385a9d4369f594e8f2a3c8f5a04ce0c2e66 and linked to PR #1784. No critical bugs were introduced; efforts centered on feature delivery and stabilization of the perception pipeline. Impact: increases reliability of the left-camera perception, enabling safer navigation and more robust sensor fusion. Technologies/skills demonstrated: camera geometry, extrinsics tuning, git-based development, issue tracking alignment.

Jul 1, 2025July 2025 monthly summary for NUbots/NUbots. Focused on improving post-fall stability and recovery with configurable upper-body relaxation, enhanced sensing, and robust servo control. Delivered StandStill stabilization before get-up, refactored FallingRelaxPlanner for configurable relaxation, introduced new relax scripts (upper body, arms, head), updated fall-detection sensor thresholds, and improved servo target handling to tolerate NaN values. These changes increase safety, reduce post-fall recovery time, and improve overall robot uptime. Implemented through two commits addressing fall handling and relaxation.

Jun 1, 2025June 2025: Focused hardening of perception, calibration, and recovery paths in NUbots/NUbots to boost reliability and safety for autonomous operations supporting Frankie and Kevin. Implemented a stabilization delay before stand-up after a fall, refined calibration offsets and camera extrinsics, and tightened perception workflows to improve spatial awareness. These changes reduce recovery time variability, lower false positives during recovery, and streamline future calibration efforts across robots.
