About

Robotics-focused candidate who built core software for a ROS2 pick-and-place arm that sorted colored cubes using an overhead camera and an AI color-recognition model. They owned arm modeling in ROS, motion logic (coordinate-to-IK-to-joint paths), and created a data-driven linear error-correction calibration to mitigate camera/AI coordinate bias, plus tuned motion speed to improve real-world repeatability.

Key Strengths

  • End-to-end implementation of pick-and-place pipeline (vision coordinates → IK → joint trajectories → bin drop-off)
  • Practical calibration approach: logged positional error vs. distance and fit a linear correction model to reduce coordinate error
  • Debugging and improving real robot repeatability by adjusting motion speed to account for motor slip/inconsistency
  • Hands-on ROS/ROS2 integration (joint state publishing, listeners/subscribers, driving motion via Python)
