This project tackles print path planning for lattice structures using reinforcement learning. Given a lattice (vertices + edges from LatticeQuery), the goal is to find the order to print every strut without the nozzle colliding with already printed material.

Distilling a fine-tuned YOLO detector into a custom architecture small enough to run in real time on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W, so a drone can spot and land on a landing platform on its own — at about a tenth of the teacher’s parameter count. Read the full report for the complete writeup.
