Competition Run
Engineered an RTOS autonomous robot that has won and set the record at the Harvard Pacbot Autonomous Robotics Challenge, navigating a maze-like arena, collecting "points" while avoiding or attacking "ghost" robots
•Achieved historical victory by becoming the first team to completely clear the maze
•Facilitated the development of a custom 2-sided custom PCB to accommodate multiple connections in a small space
•Identified bottlenecks and established a streamlined and 35% more efficient calibration and communication pipeline
•Implemented innovative solutions across hardware and software, integrating a Raspberry Pi, Teensy, 9 sensors, and motors into a cohesive unit. Authored and debugged over 2,000 lines of C++ code, ensuring precise control and seamless interaction with the Pacbot environment.
•Developed and troubleshooted a gesture control system using ESPNOW, IMU Sensors and C++, creating an interactive robotics experience for over 25,000 visitors at the Engineering Open House, an engineering showcase designed for school students.
