CMU ECE · Looking for a Summer 2027 internship
Samuel Anes
Robotics, controls, systems, and software
On Carnegie Mellon Racing’s driverless team I lead two systems: the regenerative braking strategy, and the Delaunay edge selection that turns perceived cone positions into the path the car follows. My rebuild of that selection removed the planner’s mis-planned frames in replay and extended its usable lookahead by 54%. Before CMU I led FTC software for four seasons and shipped a real-time multiplayer game to 1,000+ users.
