Autonomous Robot Navigation using ROS - 04/03/23 to 05/07/24

Implemented navigation algorithms in ROS to enable a robot to autonomously navigate in a predefined environment, and integrated sensors (e.g., LiDAR, camera, etc.) For obstacle detection and avoidance, I utilized SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) techniques for mapping, a straight-line path planner, and simulation using ROS; 09/01/23; 03/31/24; created a custom global planner to generate a global path for multiple waypoints

ADAM: All-Directional Autonomous Mobile Robot using ROS2 - 01/08/2024 to 10/04/2025

ADAM (All-Directional Autonomous Mobile Robot) is a ROS2-based intelligent robotic platform designed for omnidirectional mobility, real-time mapping, localization, and autonomous navigation. Built for dynamic industrial environments, ADAM integrates vision-based SLAM using Luxonis Oak-D Pro cameras, IMU, and wheel odometry fusion, and advanced behavior tree-based navigation.
