ROS-based SLAM Implementation and Hardware Optimization for Skid Steer Drive Bot.Worked as part of a 4-member team to develop a hardware-optimized autonomous skid steer drive bot. Utilized a single ESP32 to process IMU, LiDAR, and encoder data, while simultaneously controlling four motors using multi-core parallel processing. Successfully implemented SLAM and autonomous navigation, reducing the AMR’s cost by 60% compared to existing solutions, resulting in a market-ready product.
