Autonomous Robotics / Drone & Boat Project Developer at Academic Projects (Autonomous Drones and Autonomous Boat)

January 1, 2023 - Present

Built an on-board real-time drone vision pipeline for detecting crop anomalies and quantifying plant health using HSV thresholding with adaptive morphological filtering. Implemented GPS-vision data fusion to automatically detect stress zones and dispatch payloads to target coordinates, enabling hands-free field operation. Developed autonomous multi-process systems using ROS2 and MAVROS for coordinated drone swarms with robust communication and no single point of failure. Created a software validation layer for PX4 SITL stress-testing to reduce debugging cycles and ensure consistent reliable performance across mission profiles. For the autonomous boat, used VRX simulation with sensor emulation, obstacle detection, and dynamic path planning; implemented Kalman filtering for real-time state estimation from noisy multi-sensor inputs; developed sensor fusion combining LiDAR point clouds and high-resolution camera data to estimate buoy distances; validated the complete stack in real-world te
