Autonomous Material Delivery for Just-In-Time Manufacturing
Functional Prototype
Facing a labor shortage due to a lack of licensed forklift drivers, I worked with an industrial agricultural manufacturer to support cobot orchestration for material fulfillment from a centralized warehouse (“Marketplace”) to transport parts via Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) to workstations in an assembly line.

Procedural Terrain Generation for Robotics Simulation and Machine Learning
Synthetic Spatial Data
Terrain generators were initially developed for the AWS + JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) Open Source Rover Challenge. This was a virtual hackathon that challenged contestants to improve how rovers on Mars may operate on the unpredictable terrain.  This design is a fully-procedural particle system that can: distort the surface, scatter obstacles of varying complexity, size, and frequency, and dynamically set the rover origin point to a flat, transitional surface.
