AJMAL KHIDRI / WORKING SYSTEMS

Things I have
built or touched.

A personal archive of physical systems, software, and the businesses that taught me to keep things running.

01ACTIVE

WayBionic — ROS2 Ground Station

A ground station for remote visibility and control of a surgical robotic arm, with motion tests publishing to a simulated joint-state driver.

MY CONTRIBUTIONBuilt the movement-test panels and diagnostics behavior that surfaces stale joint values and errors inside RViz; changed the arm wiring to match the control code.

Personal Robotics Roadmap

A sequence for building robotics skill in simulation first: imitation learning, reinforcement learning, then navigation and SLAM.

MY CONTRIBUTIONChose a simulation-first sequence to build robotics skill without purchasing hardware up front.

03SHIPPED

HVAC Express

A real web presence and technical infrastructure for a family-run Calgary heating and cooling company.

MY CONTRIBUTIONDesigned, built, and maintain the live site end-to-end, including token-based CSS architecture, Hostinger hosting, SEO work, and security remediation.

Autonomous Obstacle-Avoiding Rover

A wireless rover that detects and avoids obstacles with independent left and right motor control and sonar-based distance sensing.

MY CONTRIBUTIONProgrammed the control behavior and structured the Java class hierarchy around movement, sensing, acceleration, and challenge logic.

WAYBIONIC / ENGINEERING MONITOR

UCalgary CLUB / ROS2 GROUND STATION / ACTIVE

I built the movement panels
and the errors they surface.

The monitor checks joint and system state, then reflects stale values and errors inside RViz instead of hiding uncertainty. Motion tests stay controlled until the real arm is ready.

BLACKBOX / PROJECT NOTES

PHYSICAL AI / VERSION 3 DRAFT / SEPTEMBER 2026

A local-first evidence stack
for physical AI systems.

BlackBox is a tamper-evident recorder concept and working Python project for capturing what an AI system was told, what it commanded, and what physically happened.

01Evidence coreCanonical records, hash chains, sealing, signatures, validation.

02Owner portalDevice-bound local monitoring, protected uploads, hidden evidence storage.

03Investigator workbenchOffline bundle review, case summaries, evidence export.

A feasibility assessment for a metre-scale confined-plasma cutting blade, modelled as a sheared-flow-stabilized screw pinch. The study separates what current plasma physics supports from the technology gaps that still block a handheld system.
