<p>As part of my research, I iteratively tuned a robotic manipulator using ROS to achieve human-level paint sanding performance,
and measured the results using computer vision (OpenCV), culminating in a co-authored paper (see Publications).
Separately, in a robotics course, I developed precise and smooth robotic manipulator control
using ROS for a math equation solving system, attaining 60 keystrokes per minute. In the research
lab, I developed a robot sensor data recording tool in Python which synchronized data from on-board
and off-board sensors. A complementary data visualization tool
I made with Javascript React improved the lab's ability to analyze navigation and manipulation algorithms.
I also explored my side interests in improving situational awareness for people who monitor or control remote robots by
training a Neural Radiance Field (NeRF) model and doing literature reviews on the subject.</p>

<p>During Summer 2022 I worked at the NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View, CA. As part of
the Astrobee Team within the Intelligent Robotics Group (IRG),
I worked on improving the map visualization pipeline. Astrobee, a family of cube-shaped
robots deployed in the International Space Station (ISS), mapped several ISS modules which
we wanted to make accessible to certain stakeholders.
However, the data was high resolution and couldn't be rendered in whole on the web. My job
was to partition the 3D model into smaller chunks, at varying resolution levels,
so that we could populate a Level-of-Detail Octree (3D Tiles). The work and environment were
rewarding,
and I enjoyed learning about the inner workings of 3D models and texture maps. </p>
<p> You can access some of the code I wrote <a
href="https://github.com/orrblue/isaac_user_interface"> here</a> where I used the
Blender Python API to automate cropping meshes and reducing texture sizes. The user
interface is called
ISAAC, not to be confused with my previous project ISAACS.

<p>I co-led a team of undergraduate researchers developing ISAACS, the Immersive Semi-Autonomous
Aerial Command System. We remotely operated drones for mapping, radiation detection, and
more
all through virtual reality. ISAACS integrates flight controls and real-time sensor data
visualization into a single interface. Our paper was published at the IEEE Nuclear Science
Conference (see "Publications"). I was advised by Dr. Allen Yang & Prof. Kai Vetter. <a

applications for robot movement calibration. Not only did I gain knowledge about mapping,

<p>At DeepDrive I designed and wrote the ROS software that connected all components of our
autonomous RC car -- from the camera input to the neural network inference, and all the way
down to the PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) motor commands. The car is equipped with an Nvidia
TX2 and
interfaced with an Arduino and ZED 1 depth sensor. Once the car was up and running I
collected training data and
trained our Pytorch implementation of SqueezeNet, an efficient CNN. I was advised by Dr.
Karl
Zipser & Dr. Sascha Hornauer. <a
