About
The navigation stack was a core component of the company’s main outdoor security robot product. As the system evolved, new hardware configurations, sensor updates, and field deployment needs required continuous maintenance and optimization to ensure stability, compatibility, and performance across diverse environments.
The goal was to maintain, refine, and extend the existing navigation stack to support ongoing product development and reliable field operation. This involved improving modularity, updating dependencies, and fine-tuning localization, path planning, and control to match real-world performance requirements.
I maintained and upgraded the ROS-based navigation stack, ensuring robust and consistent performance across multiple robot versions. My contributions included improving hardware efficiency through optimized motor controller configuration, developing hardware drivers for new components, and integrating new navigation features.
