The Static Frame Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) will rapidly map, navigate, and search complex underground environments, including human-made tunnel systems, urban underground, and natural cave networks in DARPA Subterranean (SubT) Challenge.
A Variable Frame UGV and Arial UGV are currently in development, which has many additional features that will be revealed in later stages of the DARPA SubT Challenge.
I served as the primary electrical designer and cable technician for the ground robots, and designed and assembled the sensor array on the aerial vehicle.
I also designed the initial close-range safeguarding module which takes input from a depth map and uses it to determine terrain traversability.
