Hi, I'm Mike
Hi, I'm Mike Hamer. I moved to Zürich, Switzerland in 2011 to study a Master's degree in Robotics, Systems and Control at ETH Zürich. Before that, I completed a double Bachelor with Honors in Computer Engineering and Computer Science in Perth, Australia - my home town. If you'd like to know more about me, read my extended bio or feel free to contact me.
My projects and contributions
Up and flying with the AR.Drone and ROS: Joystick Control
In the second of six tutorials, we setup a joystick to work with the ROS environment, and use it to fly the AR.Drone. Software is highly commented for those who are interested.
Up and flying with the AR.Drone and ROS: Keyboard Control
In the first of six tutorials, I take a look at controlling the AR.Drone through ROS. I cover getting setup with the software and connecting to and flying the drone.
AR.Drone ROS Driver
My contributions include major bug fixes, enabling additional drone feedback, enabling real-time feedback and increasing driver configurability.
Flight Assembled Architecture
I was part of the core team on the FAA project. I programmed the system GUI, task-scheduling algorithm, hardware bridges and quadrotor waypoint following algorithms.
Robohub
I periodically contribute tutorials based on my Master's project to Robohub.
