2015 - 2016University of Minnesota- Improved a state-estimation algorithm for a quadcopter drone.
- Composed code for the ARM architecture.
- Developed an extended Kalman filter to improved state estimation.
- Built a mathematical model in SymPy in the course of developing the EKF.
- Gained experience with embedded systems development and debugging tools, such as JTAG.
- Worked with multiple sensor types such as GPS, barometer, altimeter, compass, and IMU.
- Worked with brushless DC motors and their controllers.
