I led a LiDAR research sub-team (FRC 2473) to investigate the use of real-time LiDAR based object and feature detection. I developed algorithms in Python for corner detection and deducing robot position on field. By inspecting the r-values for linear regressions across the FOV of the 2D LiDAR system, our team was able to find the probability of corner at a given azimuth... I led a Six Degree Positioning research sub-team (FTC 4950) to find robot location and angle (over short time periods) based on an Inertial Measurement Unit. This project was written in Java and compiled to an Android Application and used for Autonomous robot navigation. Our team was awarded the Control (Software) Award during competition.
