About

Robotics software engineer focused on vision-guided manipulation with a Franka Emika Panda on ROS 2, using an RGB-D camera and a trained YOLO-OBB detector to estimate 3D object poses for pick-and-place. Strong in perception-to-planning integration (TF2 alignment, message synchronization, MoveIt 2) and in debugging sim-to-real issues, including symmetry-aware orientation handling and grasp repeatability tuning.

Key Strengths

  • End-to-end perception + ROS 2 system integration for vision-guided manipulation
  • TF2 frame debugging and sensor synchronization to resolve cm-level sim-to-real grasp errors
  • Custom post-processing to handle symmetry/angle ambiguity in YOLO-OBB detections
  • MoveIt 2 integration with custom grasp pose generation and filtering
  • Improved grasp repeatability via gripper control timing and force-threshold checks
  • Designing robust ROS 2 interfaces and QoS (reliable/transient local) for distributed configuration
