Embedded Control for Military Robotics

Embedded systems for military-grade EOD ROVs: real-time multi-node RS-485 communication, motor control, sensor fusion, and field-deployable firmware architecture.

Field robots must coordinate many subsystems in real time and keep working when a node fails — reliability, determinism, and fault tolerance are non-negotiable outside the lab.

• A custom RS-485 master-slave broadcast protocol for multi-node coordination
• Real-time motor control and sensor fusion (RTK GPS, LIDAR)
• A field-deployable firmware architecture built for maintainability

Protocol published as Best Paper, ICCIT 2024; the platform was delivered and field-deployed.

Direction: formal real-time guarantees and tamper-evidence for field buses.
