Building the first prototype as one coherent system.
ILIA brings together custom robot electronics, embedded firmware, ROS/DDS communications, control, perception, and autonomy. As the primary technical lead, I work across these layers so the physical platform and its algorithms evolve together.
The first targeted application is autonomous delivery. Current development is moving from first-prototype integration toward control and autonomy, including the team’s initial reinforcement-learning experiments.
Key contributions
- Led the architecture and development of custom motor-driver and supporting electronics boards.
- Integrated embedded firmware and the ROS/DDS robot communications infrastructure.
- Led the first complete prototype integration across hardware and robot software.
- Direct current control, autonomy, and early reinforcement-learning development.
