Galaxea A1Z Vision-Guided Interaction Arm
A vision-to-motion prototype built around a six-axis Galaxea A1Z arm and gripper. I received independent access to the hardware for only the final 12 hours, then brought up the control stack, recorded a live demonstration, and replayed a safety-checked trajectory on the real robot.

- 01Assembled the A1Z from scratch and connected the wrist camera, gs_usb / CAN, and the DimOS 100 Hz ControlCoordinator before delivering the live demo, dataset capture, and trajectory replay.
- 02Converted 768 measured samples from a 12.81-second demonstration into a validated 1,431-point, 14.97-second real-robot replay after command and joint-limit checks. The demo completed gripper opening and closing, trajectory hold, and a controlled exit.
- 03Evaluated ChArUco / ArUco, Metric3D, and VLA approaches, then shipped the interaction prototype with MediaPipe hand landmarks and an overhead camera. I also completed wrist-camera calibration, four-marker PnP localization, and strict IK execution gates.
- 04Wrapped the brake-free arm in fail-closed controls: dry-run by default, process interlocks, physical confirmation, position / velocity / jump limits, and a soft stop before de-energizing. Fourteen dedicated software tests passed.
