Created a mapping system that allows power wheelchair users to view, save, and autonomously navigate to semantically-identified landmarks using a tablet.

Developed a stereo camera-based visual odometry system to estimate the motion of a vehicle.

Implemented 3D SLAM, autonomous navigation, and real-time object detection on the Clearpath Jackal UGV. Performed point cloud processing to remove unnecessary LiDAR points.

Developed several ROS 2 packages and a C++ library to implement Extended Kalman Filter SLAM on a TurtleBot3 in simulation.

Collaborated with four other students to recreate the game “Don’t let the balloon touch the ground” with a Franka Emika Panda robot.
