Problem

Autonomous perimeter monitoring needs perception, localization, control, and safety logic to hold up together under real conditions — not just in simulation. A failure in any layer is a failure of the system.

Built

An integrated rover on Jetson Nano + Pixhawk fusing LiDAR, GPS, IMU, and vision, with hybrid mission logic, dual-mode control, obstacle avoidance, face recognition, real-time video streaming, and telemetry.

Role

Led the project end-to-end — system integration, mission logic, safety overrides, and the perception/telemetry stack.
