Ran kinematic models, PID tuning simulations, and tested real-time object avoidance scenarios.
June – July 2025
Trained models, evaluated SLAM libraries (RTAB-Map, ORB-SLAM2), and upgraded navigation stack.
August 1 – August 15, 2025
Procured motors, arm actuators, LiDAR, and embedded systems for final build.
September 2025
Integrated all mechanical parts, electronics, and sensors into the chassis with ROS setup.
October – November 2025
Conducted SLAM mapping, real-time control, arm testing, and improved localization algorithms.
December 2025
Final polishing, UI additions, field testing, and packaging Astrix Rover for competition.
