I joined MSU’s AutoDrive Team in the fall of 2017, and have since then designed and implemented steering and torque controllers for our vehicle.

In addition to that I helped develop pathplanning algorithms, and learned to work with ROS, use Gitlab, and program in the Linux environment.

I was really excited to be one of the people who were chosen to represent our Team in Yuma, Arizona during the AutoDrive Challenge Competition. Unfortunately, we had a lot of unforeseen issues with our CAN communication which did not allow us to show off our vehicle’s full potential.

Nevertheless, I am certain we stay motivated and learn from this amazing experience and hopefully bounce back next year!
