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.

We created a teleoperated control system in Unity in just 24 hours. The system utilized an Oculus headset to control the robot remotely.
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.
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.
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.
