Humans of Humanoid 👨👩🤖 4.0
This is Ross, He is finishing his Mechatronics undergrad this year and is leading the autonomous subsystem in the Humanoid Project. Ross' coding prowess, dedication to the project, and foosball skills make him an invaluable member of our team. (1/2)
The software framework we are using for Abi, is coincidentally called ROS (Robot Operating System). Ross also happens to be our project's expert on ROS 🧐

Exciting news from the ACRUX-2 team! 🎉🛰
Our Attitude and Determination System team is very grateful to be a Protostar Grant recipient within the Blackbird Foundation! (1/)
For the next three months, our subsystem mission is to design, build, and test the detumbling system, which stops the satellite from spinning when launched from the rocket.
Take a look at our video to hear more about our goals and how we are going to get there! (2/)
We'd like to thank the Blackbird Foundation for their support, and we're super excited to be a part of their program to unleash creativity in young people!
