About Me

I am a Master of Science in Computational Design candidate from Carnegie Mellon University. My interest lands on the applicable interdisciplinary field of Sensing, Human-computer Interaction, IoT and Ubiquitous Computing.  My self-motivated personality push me to explore and thinker around future Human-Computer Interfaces and Interactions. I have both engineering and design backgrounds, one of which helps me to explore the world with imagination and creativity, while the other provides me with logical thinking and hands-on skill

Automated Guided Fork Truck

Course project, collaborated with Benjamin Orgera for CMU 16-362/16-862 Mobile Robot Algorithm course. Main goal is to provide Matlab code for the Raspbot to be able to autonomously find the pallet, generate the trajectory,  realize and recover from the error, and pick up the targets. Topics include Perceptive & Coordinated Control, Cubic Spiral Trajectory Generation, Motion Planner, Feedback and Feedforward Control, Dead Reckoning, Odometry, SLAM.
