Environments for robotics
- Current focus
- Building a shared digital twin of the space for Terra Labs’ end-of-semester experiential installation, with OpenUSD scene assembly and an organized asset pipeline.
- Next steps
- Make the environment available for teams to plan their installations and for the robotics team to use in drone training and other robotics training. Teach OpenUSD workshops to help teammates use the shared environment.

04 / A LITTLE CONTEXT
Technical curiosity.
A designer’s eye.
I’m Hudson, a student at USC’s Iovine and Young Academy working across OpenUSD, NVIDIA Omniverse, and autonomous-vehicle simulation.
My background in 3D environments, interactive installations, and product concepts shapes how I approach technical systems: how they’re built, how they behave, and how people experience them.
I’m quick to learn new skills and comfortable tackling unfamiliar problems independently. I enjoy figuring out what a problem needs, teaching myself the tools to address it, and experimenting to find creative, practical solutions.
