Key Achievements

The main achievements of this internship project include:

  • Successfully implemented indoor and outdoor autonomous navigation for the quadruped robot from sensor calibration to upper route planning
    • Achieved state estimation(odometry) for 3D pose and base velocity in oscillating environments
    • Enhanced obstacle avoidance response speed while analyzing terrain passability
    • Achieved continuous patrolling at a speed of 0.6m/s for a battery cycle (3-4 hours), with a near 100% success rate for complete cycle patrols, excluding failures due to hardware issues
  • Developed an intuitive user interface and network interface for easy operation and control
    • Deployed a WebUI for robot control
    • Integrated into a multi-robot intranet system, enabling remote video monitoring and remote takeover in a cellular environment
