I joined the project when the sensors had been selected and the chassis and assembly of compents had been designed, and my role was integration. We had 10 cameras, 2 lidars, 7 IMUs, GPS, a Leica optical positioning system, all talking to 3 computers and the ANYmal robot in a highly syncronized manner, so this wasn’t trivial. Once the custom machined Boxi was assembeled, integrated, calibrated and tested, we then collected our dataset in a hugely varied set of locations across Switerland. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627b15c3d8a57c3b330cf2a1/8a7dc45c-32e2-4ae7-83af-7cf92eb78f93/junfraujoch.jpg GrandTour - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.thinkkappi.com/omnidirectional daily 0.75 2026-03-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627b15c3d8a57c3b330cf2a1/5401c0b7-eec3-44b3-ac19-147d0638fd62/Screenshot+2026-03-09+at+12.31.52%E2%80%AFPM.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627b15c3d8a57c3b330cf2a1/9758b060-0c6e-486c-ac8a-3e20b96137c3/Screenshot+2026-03-09+at+12.25.08%E2%80%AFPM.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627b15c3d8a57c3b330cf2a1/71443a19-9435-44c9-be8e-2793f586baa1/Screenshot+2026-03-09+at+12.39.21%E2%80%AFPM.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627b15c3d8a57c3b330cf2a1/c43cf2d5-ec26-4267-bf8b-08e84c2172c8/Screenshot+2026-03-09+at+12.44.35%E2%80%AFPM.png https://www.thinkkappi.com/novel daily 0.75 2026-03-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627b15c3d8a57c3b330cf2a1/6c983a8c-392c-4e69-b65e-4e21183092a3/_.jpeg https://www.thinkkappi.com/home-1 daily 0.75 2026-03-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627b15c3d8a57c3b330cf2a1/38b89470-265e-4b3b-9960-c3f55ae77b97/Screenshot+2026-03-09+at+1.18.27%E2%80%AFPM.png Home (New) SciFi Novel - Current https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627b15c3d8a57c3b330cf2a1/e2320a60-f4a1-4360-b2b4-e955e1b13f7d/ernest_kappi.jpg Home (New) NASA JPL Endurance Lunar Rover - 2025 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627b15c3d8a57c3b330cf2a1/1450bcd9-b22b-421a-ad88-d971bfbd286a/sensors_boxi.png Home (New) GrandTour - 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627b15c3d8a57c3b330cf2a1/9f78e36d-54d6-4c01-bc93-353064f4d75e/Screenshot+2026-03-09+at+12.44.35%E2%80%AFPM.png Home (New) Omnidirectional Navigation - 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627b15c3d8a57c3b330cf2a1/1663626005426-IWEDHSITXSCTBO9KK02O/unsplash-image-Oze6U2m1oYU.jpg Home (New) JWST Tutorials - 2023 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627b15c3d8a57c3b330cf2a1/86435977-e2d8-4de7-b3d1-e0b8344effa2/Screenshot+2023-09-06+at+3.25.40+PM.png Home (New) Nira Energy Freelancing - 2023 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627b15c3d8a57c3b330cf2a1/d366896c-ca5f-47d3-8695-399d0d6aadd7/clock_assembly.PNG Home (New) Weasley Clock - 2023 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627b15c3d8a57c3b330cf2a1/733d2065-a819-4af9-a054-915cbf8803bf/mark-paton-QpOxts03rps-unsplash-1024x620.jpeg Home (New) Sound Research - 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627b15c3d8a57c3b330cf2a1/d5140a2c-3212-4f71-94d3-200cc1ceed1c/Screen+Shot+2022-05-11+at+6.21.35+PM.png Home (New) Cleaners and Independent Allied Workers Union consulting - 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627b15c3d8a57c3b330cf2a1/61d71f15-5aab-4900-a95f-b8ad3671db4b/IMG_1976-1024x768.jpeg Home (New) Mustang modifications - 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627b15c3d8a57c3b330cf2a1/b61545ee-5b14-4537-8fcb-e8738b673b62/jamal-1024x768.jpeg Home (New) VW bus restoration - 2020 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627b15c3d8a57c3b330cf2a1/939908af-a68f-49c6-b542-2d6b17f7ebd6/Screen+Shot+2022-05-11+at+6.27.00+PM.png Home (New) Pixar - 2013 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627b15c3d8a57c3b330cf2a1/6b6148c7-9332-4e81-a875-526e7f897dd2/eles.jpeg Home (New) - Make it stand out Some elephants near home
