Mechanics - ME-01 - Nomad mechanical optimization & simulation

Objectives:

• Improve Nomad’s mechanical design to enhance robustness, waterproofing, and weight optimization for outdoor operations. Analyze the current structure, propose improvements, and create a full URDF model for simulation in Gazebo to test mechanical changes, dynamics, and module interactions.

Required skills:

• CAD modeling (SolidWorks / Fusion 360)
• Mechanical analysis (FEA)
• URDF and ROS 2 Gazebo simulation
• 3D printing / prototyping knowledge
