About

Robotics Engineer specializing in Human-Robot Interaction.

I hold a Master’s degree in Electrical and Control Engineering from National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU), where I specialized in robotics and immersive human-interactive technologies. My research focused on developing advanced teleoperation systems using VR/AR, UGVs, and drones, culminating in a thesis on an AI-Copilot framework for aerial manipulation. I thrive on solving complex system integration challenges and have proven my skills in international competitions and cross-continental academic collaborations.

I am passionate about bridging the gap between human intuition and robotic precision. I'm currently seeking opportunities to apply and expand my expertise in human-robot collaboration, intuitive teleoperation, and intelligent autonomous systems. My goal is to build robotic technologies that are not just functional, but are safe, efficient, and seamlessly integrated into our lives.

Research & Project Experience

Research Assistant | Human-Robot Cooperation Lab

Oct 2024 - Jan 2025

National Tsing Hua University (NTHU), Hsinchu, Taiwan

  • Developing and integrating open-source robotic arms (Koch) and mobile manipulators (Stretch3).
  • Implementing and researching human-robot collaborative tasks using the ROS2 framework.

Master Degree | Assistive Robotics Group Lab

Sep 2022 - Oct 2024

National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU), Hsinchu, Taiwan

  • AI-Copilot for Aerial Manipulation (Master's Thesis): Architected a novel human-AI collaborative framework for complex aerial manipulation using VR. Engineered a core where an LLM generates Behavior Trees from high-level commands, creating an "AI-Copilot" to assist the human operator.
  • Advanced Teleoperation Research (UGV & Mobile Manipulators): Led teleoperation projects by collaborating with both international (George Mason University) and domestic (5G Network Group) partners. Validated low-latency, high-immersion control for UGVs (Locobot) across diverse infrastructures, including cross-continental WireGuard VPN links and 5G SA networks.
