In this project, the student will work closely with the other team members to develop data collection pipelines during the experiments of a sensorized amphibious robot and, optionally, use them to collect and analyze experimental data. Specifically, the student needs to:

• Build a multi-camera system for tracking 3-D kinematics of the robots, ideally in real time. The system is expected to work in both indoor and outdoor experiments. We already have a few working setups, and the student needs to replicate them using new hardware, calibrate the system, and integrate it with ROS2.
• Synchronize data collected from multiple resources: cameras, force sensors, motors, etc.
• Visualize the data collected in RViz, Blender, or other 3D visualizers.
• Help collect experimental data.
• (For master project only) Help analyze data or use learning algorithms to find underlying patterns.

The student is expected to be familiar with programming in C/C++ and Python, have experience using ROS2, and have learned about robot kinematics. Experience with Docker, Linux kernel, communication protocols, and computer vision algorithms would be a bonus.

The student who is interested in this project shall send the following materials to the assistant: (1) resume, (2) transcript showing relevant courses and grades, and (3) other materials that can demonstrate their skills and project experience (such as videos, slides, code repositories, etc.).
