The goal

Program a humanoid for a simulated search-and-rescue task.

My work

Independent programming and testing of the robot behavior.

Hardest problem

Connection problems and inconsistent target tracking.

Result so far

A classroom demonstration was recorded, with those limitations still present.

The project.

I completed the humanoid robot project independently. The task was to identify a victim in a simulated damaged building. The project brought together programmed robot behavior and tracking, with connection problems and inconsistent tracking affecting the final performance.

ScenarioSimulated rescue

Victim identification in a classroom damaged-building scenario.

Main limitationsConnection + tracking

These affected the consistency of the demonstrated behavior.

Engineering decisions

How it came together.

Give the robot a task

The search-and-rescue scenario gave the programming a concrete purpose: identify a victim within the simulated environment. That made reliable tracking and communication part of the task, alongside the robot's motion.

Work with the limits of the platform

Connectivity and tracking issues made the behavior inconsistent. I continued testing and obtained a demonstration, but the project remained limited by those issues. The recording captures the robot's behavior in the classroom scenario.
