Over two months, Makw contributed to the CUSail-Navigation/sailbot repository by developing core navigation and control features for an autonomous sailbot. They integrated a VectorNav sensor, enabling both real and simulated data streams through ROS and Python, and automated sensor startup to streamline deployment. Their work established robust data pipelines for navigation algorithms and improved testability. In the following month, Makw refactored the servo control system, introducing new PWM mapping functions in C++ to enhance actuation accuracy and ensure safe, neutral initialization of sail and rudder servos. The work demonstrated depth in embedded systems, robotics, and sensor integration without addressing bug fixes.

March 2025 performance summary for CUSail-Navigation/sailbot focused on delivering a robust servo control system and preparing the sailbot for more autonomous and precise operations. The work emphasized safe startup behavior, improved actuation accuracy, and a clear path to re-enabling crucial sensors after refactors.
