Go1 – Jun 2022 - Present
I am working on developing new RL methods for legged robots. The Go1 is the main platform I use and I am researching improvements in jumping and the robot's ability to walk in deep snow.
Robots I have worked on
DOFbot – Jan 2022 - Mar 2022
We created a teleoperated control system in Unity in just 24 hours. The system utilized an Oculus headset to control the robot remotely.
Spot – Jun 2021 - Present
I am working with the Boston Dynamics Spot robot to train it to detect complex terrain and estimate the cost for the robot to walk on different surfaces.
LLAMA – Jun 2021 - Aug 2021
As part of my work with the Army Research Laboratory (ARL) I worked on the Legged Locomotion and Movement Adaptation (LLAMA) robot. I used joint data to predict terrain types that the robot was walking on.
USU Mars Rover – Aug 2020 - May 2021
I worked on the USU Mars Rover team to develop a robot that can navigate autonomously in a simulated Mars environment. I worked on the computer vision system to detect and avoid obstacles. I also worked on the communication system to allow the robot to communicate with the base station.
