feat: ROS2 bag recording for mission logging (Issue #488 )
...
Implement automatic mission logging with bag recorder:
- Auto-records to ~/.saltybot-data/bags/ with 30min rotation
- Records mission-critical topics: /scan, /cmd_vel, /odom, /tf, /camera/color/image_raw/compressed, /saltybot/diagnostics
- MCAP format (preferred) with fallback to sqlite3 with zstd compression
- Services: /saltybot/save_bag, /saltybot/start_recording, /saltybot/stop_recording
- FIFO 20GB disk limit with automatic cleanup of oldest bags
- Auto-starts on launch, auto-saves on graceful shutdown
Changes:
- Updated bag_recorder_node.py with new parameters and services
- Changed default bag_dir to ~/.saltybot-data/bags/
- Set max_storage_gb to 20 (FIFO limit)
- Changed storage_format to MCAP by default
- Added start/stop recording service callbacks
- Updated package.xml description for mission logging

feat: Configure Nav2 recovery behaviors (Issue #479 )
...
Implement conservative recovery behaviors for autonomous navigation on FC + Hoverboard ESC drivetrain.
Recovery Sequence (round-robin, 6 retries):
1. Clear costmaps (local + global)
2. Spin 90° @ 0.5 rad/s max (conservative for self-balancer)
3. Wait 5 seconds (allow dynamic obstacles to move)
4. Backup 0.3m @ 0.1 m/s (deadlock escape, very conservative)
Configuration Details:
- backup: 0.3m reverse, 0.1 m/s speed, 0.15 m/s max, 5s timeout
- spin: 90° rotation, 0.5 rad/s max angular velocity, 1.6 rad/s² accel
- wait: 5-second pause for obstacle clearing
- progress_checker: 20cm minimum movement threshold in 10s window
Safety:
- E-stop (Issue #459 ) takes priority over recovery behaviors
- Emergency stop system runs independently on STM32 firmware
- Conservative speeds for FC + Hoverboard ESC stability
Files Modified:
- jetson/config/nav2_params.yaml: behavior_server parameters
- jetson/ros2_ws/src/saltybot_bringup/behavior_trees/navigate_to_pose_with_recovery.xml: BT updates

feat: WiFi mesh handoff - seamless AP roaming (Issue #458 )
...
Add WiFi mesh handoff infrastructure:
WiFiState.msg interface:
- SSID, signal strength (dBm), connection status
- AP address, frequency, link quality
- TX/RX rates, roaming flag
- Available APs for handoff decision
WiFi Monitor Node:
- Signal monitoring via iwconfig/nmcli
- Auto-roam at -70dBm threshold
- Seamless wpa_supplicant roaming
- Gateway ping (8.8.8.8) every 5s
- USB tethering fallback if offline >30s
- TTS warnings for connectivity issues
- Coverage logging with AP transitions
Features:
- Configurable roaming threshold (-70dBm default)
- Gateway connectivity verification
- Offline detection with configurable timeout
- USB tethering auto-activation/deactivation
- Signal strength change logging (>5dBm)
- AP transition logging
- Manual rescan/tether control commands
Topics:
- /saltybot/wifi_state (String)
- /saltybot/speech_text (String warnings)
- /saltybot/wifi_cmd (String commands)
Configuration:
- interface: wlan0
- roam_threshold_dbm: -70
- offline_warning_timeout: 30.0
- target_ssid: SaltyLab
- fallback_tether: true
- coverage_log_file: /tmp/wifi_coverage.log
Roaming Behavior:
- Monitors signal continuously
- When signal < -70dBm, scans for stronger AP
- wpa_supplicant performs seamless handoff
- Logs all AP transitions to coverage file
Fallback Behavior:
- Pings gateway every 5 seconds
- If unreachable for >30s, activates USB tether
- TTS alert: 'Warning: Lost WiFi connectivity...'
- Auto-deactivates when WiFi restored
Coverage Mapping:
- Logs timestamp, SSID, signal, connected status
- Tracks roaming events
- Useful for mesh network optimization

feat: Add gesture recognition system (Issue #454 )
...
Implements hand and body gesture recognition via MediaPipe on Jetson Orin GPU.
- MediaPipe Hands (21-point hand landmarks) + Pose (33-point body landmarks)
- Recognizes: wave, point, stop_palm, thumbs_up, come_here, arms_up, arms_spread
- GestureArray publishing at 10–15 fps on Jetson Orin
- Confidence threshold: 0.7 (configurable)
- Range: 2–5 meters optimal
- GPU acceleration via Jetson Tensor RT
- Integrates with voice command router for multimodal interaction
- Temporal smoothing: history-based motion detection (wave, beckon)

feat: Add Issue #455 - Smooth velocity controller with S-curve jerk reduction
...
Implement acceleration-limited velocity controller:
- Subscribe to /cmd_vel_raw, publish smoothed /cmd_vel
- Max linear acceleration: 0.5 m/s², angular: 1.0 rad/s²
- Deceleration: 0.8 m/s² (linear), 1.0 rad/s² (angular)
- S-curve jerk limiting with 0.2s ramp time
- E-stop immediate stop capability
- Command priority system (e-stop > teleop > geofence > follow-me > nav2 > patrol)
- Publish /saltybot/velocity_profile for monitoring
- 50Hz update rate (configurable)

feat: Emergency stop cascade system (Issue #459 )
...
Critical safety system with <50ms latency emergency response.
ROS2 action server /saltybot/estop with unified trigger sources:
- Voice commands: 'stop', 'emergency', 'e-stop'
- Gamepad emergency button
- IMU tilt detection (>45 degrees)
- LiDAR obstacle detection (<0.3m)
- Geofence boundary violation
- Watchdog timeout trigger
- MQTT remote kill signal
Cascade response (within 500ms):
1. Zero cmd_vel in <50ms (priority critical)
2. Disable autonomous mode
3. Face alert animation (emergency_stop)
4. LED red indicator
5. TTS alert announcement
6. Event logging + sensor snapshot
Safety properties:
- Cannot be overridden once triggered
- Manual resume only (gamepad Start or voice 'resume')
- Non-blockable execution (separate thread)
- Redundant trigger sources for reliability
Published topics:
- /saltybot/estop_active (Bool) - System state
- /saltybot/estop_event (String) - Event log (JSON)
Subscribed triggers:
- /camera/imu - Tilt detection
- /scan - Obstacle detection <0.3m
- /voice/command - Voice e-stop/resume
- /gamepad/emergency, /gamepad/start - Gamepad controls
- /saltybot/geofence_violation - Geofence boundary
- /saltybot/watchdog_timeout - Watchdog signal
- /saltybot/mqtt_kill - Remote kill signal
Package structure:
- estop_server: Main emergency stop node
- estop_config.yaml: Timing, triggers, cascade config
- estop.launch.py: Launch with safety parameters
- Unit tests for trigger detection and cascade timing
Logging: /home/seb/saltybot-data/estop/ (JSON format)

feat: sound effects library (Issue #457 )
...
Event-driven audio feedback system with 9 sound events:
- boot_complete: Startup chime (ascending notes)
- person_detected: Subtle detection sound (800Hz sine)
- wake_word: Activation beep (1000Hz)
- low_battery: Warning tone (880Hz double beep)
- obstacle_close: Proximity beeps (rapid 1200Hz pulses)
- trick_complete: Success jingle (ascending arpeggio)
- error: Descending warning tone (800→400Hz)
- charging_start: Power-up tone (rising 400→1200Hz)
