ABOUT
Custom-made robotic platform designed to enable autonomous movement of furniture, allowing for their automatic configuration within a space.
I was part of a multidisciplinary team of roboticists, electrical and mechanical engineers, with the goal to develop self-driving furniture. My responsibilities included developing pathfinding, obstacle detection and avoidance algorithms, and calibrating onboard LiDAR sensors for furniture arrangement. Additionally, I developed a Unity mobile app for controlling individual robots and their automatic arrangement based on a predefined layout. To enhance debugging capabilities, I also created a simulation tool.
