Unmanned Surface Vehicle
- Description: As a full-stack robotics engineer, developed a fully autonomous unmanned surface vehicle (USV). Utilized a PX4 flight controller and an Intel NUC running ROS2 Humble as the control module to achieve automatic navigation based on GNSS sensors. This project aims to enhance the autonomy and reliability of USVs for applications in environmental monitoring, marine research, and more.
- Role and Contribution:
- Conducted full-stack development, including the design, manufacturing, and assembly of a USV platform.
- Integrated electromechanical systems and developed algorithms for autonomous navigation leveraging LiDAR-based perception and planning strategies.
- Successfully implemented the system for real-world navigation tasks, demonstrating reliability and adaptability.
