Autonomous Robot Mission 3D

Master ROS Robot Operating System: nodes (independent executables communicate messages), topics (publish-subscribe asynchronous), services (request-response synchronous), actions (long-running tasks goal feedback result cancel), packages navigation move_base SLAM gmapping MoveIt motion planning manipulation, Gazebo simulation realistic physics

Understand autonomous navigation pipeline: perception (sensors lidar cameras depth RGB-D ultrasonic, computer vision object detection SLAM mapping), localization (GPS odometry IMU, SLAM Simultaneous Localization And Mapping, particle filter Monte Carlo probabilistic), path planning (global A-star Dijkstra optimal, local Dynamic Window Approach DWA reactive avoid dynamic obstacles, RRT sampling-based configuration space), control (PID classical, pure pursuit trajectory following, MPC Model Predic...

Apply robotics algorithms: obstacle avoidance (static inflate map plan free space, dynamic predict trajectories replan frequently, artificial potential fields gradient descent), sensor fusion (Kalman filter EKF UKF, tf coordinate transformations, robot_localization package multiple sensors), motion planning (RRT Rapidly-exploring Random Tree sampling-based, MoveIt manipulation arms IK inverse kinematics collision avoidance)

Develop robotics programming skills: Python (rospy ROS nodes, NumPy linear algebra, OpenCV computer vision image processing, TensorFlow PyTorch deep learning), C++ (roscpp performance real-time control, Eigen linear algebra, PCL Point Cloud Library 3D lidar, embedded Arduino ESP32 motor control sensors), hardware integration (GPIO pins interfaces I2C SPI UART, soldering electronics debugging multimeter oscilloscope, 3D printing CAD design SolidWorks Fusion360)
