Drone Swarm Sensor Fusion and Human-Drone Interaction
A robotics research role involving 6DoF IMU datasets, EKF-based localization improvement, PID tuning, ROS/ROS2 migration and Crazyflie/Crazyswarm-based indoor logistics demos.
Summary
At TU Dortmund, I contributed to human-drone interaction and drone swarm research. The work combined data generation, control tuning, sensor fusion and robotics software migration.
Key contributions
- Contributed to a 6DoF IMU dataset for training drone swarm gesture-control models.
- Improved localization accuracy using PID tuning and EKF sensor fusion.
- Integrated IR camera and IMU data for automated battery charging during swarming operations.
- Contributed to migration of a ROS-based swarm-show platform toward ROS2 using Crazyswarm.
- Fine-tuned Crazyflie drone controllers to improve stability for pallet detection with a camera deck.
- Supported and troubleshot drone shows for indoor logistics applications.
Recruiter takeaway
This work shows robotics system thinking: sensing, estimation, control, software migration and practical demo readiness.
