Rover autonomy and ground control

Co-Software Lead, Mars Rover Team · University Rover Challenge

I co-led ROS 2 rover autonomy through two competition seasons, connecting autonomous and teleoperated control, operator interfaces, and field testing.

Interactive portfolio demonstration · MapLibre and Three.js/WebGL · Generated route and sensor data illustrate navigation, command status, and arm recovery. The experience above describes the team’s rover work.

  • Co-led ROS 2 rover autonomy through two competition seasons, integrating Nav2 behavior trees, waypoint navigation, ArUco detection, obstacle avoidance, stereo cameras, LiDAR, GPS, and IMU fusion.
  • Connected autonomous and teleoperated control to STM32 through an asynchronous Rust driver; integrated ODrive and CAN control, React/TypeScript and Foxglove interfaces, Jetson video, Gazebo/Isaac Sim environments, rosbag replay, and a Docker test harness.
  • Validated autonomy through field trials and rosbag replay, coordinated subsystem integration through GitHub reviews, and built simulation tests that exercised navigation changes without vehicle hardware.
