Developed Embedded C firmware for STM32F407 based autonomous and manually operated competition robots. Designed CAN communication between two STM32 controllers for synchronized dual-robot operation. Implemented simultaneous closed-loop PID control for 10 motors (8 BLDC + 2 auxiliary) across drive, climbing, and DOF mechanisms.
