Multimodal Mobile Robot

Autonomous multimodal robot for inspection and surveillance in constrained environments, combining bio-inspired mechanisms, distributed embedded control, perception, and ROS2 teleoperation.

  • Simulated robot mechanisms in SolidWorks Motion Analysis to estimate torque, force profiles, and component requirements.
  • Designed a distributed embedded architecture where local microcontrollers handle mechanisms and a Jetson board coordinates system-level control.
  • Implemented CAN communication between microcontrollers and the main compute board for real-time coordination.
  • Built ROS2 WiFi teleoperation workflows for remote testing and field-oriented validation.

CAPLA Embedded Product Software

Current software engineering work in CAPLA's embedded product software ecosystem, involving Linux-based application features, hardware-connected workflows, and robotics-adjacent product areas at a public, non-confidential level.

  • Develop C++/Qt/QML application features for Linux-based embedded product software on Jetson-class platforms.
  • Work with hardware-connected software concepts including imaging/tracking interfaces, communication paths, testing, and real-time debugging.
  • Apply robotics, computer vision, sensor fusion, and embedded systems background to robust hardware-integrated application workflows.
  • Public description is limited to company-published product areas and job-description-level responsibilities, excluding proprietary architecture, source code, internal data, and implementation details.
