Research experience

Jan–Aug 2026

HandEdit — egocentric human-to-robot hand image editing

Research team member · Robot assets & data engineering

  • Selected robot arm and dexterous-hand combinations with attention to degrees of freedom, kinematic reachability and embodiment diversity.
  • Standardized multi-configuration URDF link/joint structures, configuration files, materials and textures for batch rendering across robot embodiments.
  • Built the EgoDex processing and conversion workflow connecting background inpainting with robot-hand retargeting. My pipeline contributed approximately 190M editing instances, about 95% of the project’s 200M edits, by my own count.

Mar–Jun 2026

SparkR — compact wheel-legged robot

Independent mechanical, electronics & control development

  • Designed a compact wheel-legged mechanism with direct-drive hub motors and built a working platform approximately 20 cm tall and 2.3 kg in mass.
  • Integrated STM32 embedded control, 1 kHz VMC-LQR balance control, PID loops, CAN motor communication, IMU attitude estimation and video transmission.
  • Designed the power-distribution and CAN hub PCBs in EasyEDA, then handled fabrication, soldering, wiring and system tuning.
  • Prototype performance: average speed 2.2 m/s, obstacle traversal of approximately 7 cm, and runtime of 35 minutes.
