My focused research on the Arash project is utilizing SLAM techniques enable the robot to concurrently map the environment and localize itself in the map. I have also investigated augmenting the SLAM technique by a person-tracker module to achieve higher mapping and localization accuracies. In addition to this, I was the key person who was mainly in charge of Arash&amp;rsquo;s software development. I have developed some variety of different software packages from low-level control modules to high-level-control modules utilizing the ROS ecosystem. Personally, Arash is the most amazing project that I have ever contributed to with a great team. Furthermore, since Arash is devoted to helping children with cancer, I found it a lovely philanthropic project. We have also tested Arash in some hospital environments and investigated its acceptability and aliveness in a storytelling scenario.&lt;/p&gt;

In this project, I have developed a novel optimized non-photorealistic rendering method which is inspired by Painterly algorithm. Utilizing the new method minimizes brush strokes overlapping on the canvas and decreases the cost of operation time. Additionally, I have also developed a python interface which gets brush strokes as the input data and paints them on the canvas by controlling a UR10 arm robot using MoveIt and ROS.&lt;/p&gt;
