Experience

  • Rosrust - Rust Bindings for ROS
    https://github.com/adnanademovic/rosrust

    Rosrust is a pure Rust implementation of a ROS client library.

    Based on available documentation about ROS's protocols, I've implemented compatible communication with the ROS framework, and made an API that is similar to the ones provided in C++ and Python, with slight twists allowed by Rust's expressiveness.

  • Library for Motion Planning

    After working on research for developing new methods of motion planning, the codebase for development has been extended to implementing other methods of motion planning, with the research results used for optimizing various existing algorithms.

  • 3D Graphics: A WebGL Tutorial (Publication)
    Whether you just want to create an interactive 3D logo, on the screen or design a fully fledged game, knowing the principles of 3D graphics rendering will help you achieve your goal. In this article, Toptal Freelance Software Engineer Adnan Ademovic gives us a step-by-step tutorial to rendering objects with textures and lighting, by breaking down abstract concepts like objects, lights, and cameras into simple WebGL procedures.
  • An Introduction to Robot Operating System: The Ultimate Robot Application Framework (Publication)
    Robot Operating System, a framework for building robot applications, allows developers to assemble a complex system by connecting existing solutions for small problems. In this article, Toptal engineer Adnan Ademovic gives us a step-by-step tutorial to building software for an onboard computer that allows us to remotely control and monitor a robot and running it in a simulated world using Robot OS.
