Makerspace Autonomous Robot.
A ROS 2 autonomous robot built around Jetson Orin Nano compute, RPLiDAR A1 ranging, and ZED 2i vision, with my focus on the electrical and hardware integration.

System
The Makerspace Autonomous Robot is a ROS 2-based mobile robotics platform. The system combines onboard edge compute with LiDAR and stereo vision for autonomous-robot development.
- Jetson Orin Nano for onboard compute.
- RPLiDAR A1 for range sensing.
- ZED 2i for vision.
- ROS 2 as the robotics software framework.
My contribution
I led the hardware-integration side of the project: power distribution, motor drivers, wiring, and chassis assembly. In the IEEE RAS electrical-lead role, I also designed and soldered circuit boards, managed the robot’s data bus and power wiring, developed Teensy firmware, and worked on ROS nodes for control.
