Tainan, Taiwan · Robotics & AI
Robotics and AI engineer in Taiwan. I build software that makes robots and factories smarter: multi-brand robot control, autonomous mobile manipulation, computer vision, and ROS 2 systems.
01 / Projects
Industrial arms, mobile manipulation, and perception. Real hardware, real factories.
[TODO: QROS: one interface for five robot brands media]
Industrial roboticsJun 2024 – May 2025
A single, intuitive control software for factory workers that drives Denso, Universal Robots, Kawasaki, Fanuc, and ABB arms from one screen.
[TODO: Autonomous mobile pick-and-place robot media]
Industrial roboticsJun 2024 – May 2025
A Denso Cobotta Pro arm mounted on a MiR mobile robot that navigates a warehouse, finds objects with a depth camera, and picks and places them on its own.
[TODO: host video file] Data collection: facial video recorded while cycling, from four angles
ResearchOct 2021 – Feb 2024
Master's thesis on remote photoplethysmography (rPPG): reading heart rate from a face on camera, and testing how much face alignment actually helps.
[TODO: Visual servoing with a collaborative arm media]
Industrial robotics
Camera-guided motion for a Denso Cobotta Pro: the arm follows what the camera sees, with a PD controller keeping the movement smooth.
▶ YouTubeIndustrial robotics
A ROS 2 Humble driver for a Honeywell inertial measurement unit, speaking CAN bus, Ethernet, RS232, and USB.
[TODO: host video file] Video analysis demo
Computer vision
Three classic computer vision techniques implemented on video: background subtraction, optical flow, and perspective transformation.
[TODO: Augmented reality on a chessboard media]
Computer vision
Camera calibration and augmented reality: 3D characters rendered onto a real chessboard seen through the camera.
[TODO: Handwritten digit recognition media]
Computer vision
A neural network that reads handwritten digits from pixel images and predicts the number.
[TODO: Walking robots and a Bluetooth arm media]
Mechatronics
Hands-on mechatronics: a hexapod that crosses rocky terrain, a biped that mimics human gait, and a 3-DOF arm driven from a phone.
[TODO: Industrial sorting machine with a PLC media]
Mechatronics
A PLC-controlled machine that detects objects and places each one in its correct location.
[TODO: Automatic parking system with IoT media]
IoT
A connected system that keeps count of vehicles in a parking area and reports it automatically.
02 / Experience
From ed-tech robotics in Bangalore to research in Tainan to factory automation in New Taipei.

Jun 2024 – May 2025
Quadrep Electronics Taiwan Ltd · New Taipei, Taiwan
Developed software to automate assembly lines in factories using AI and machine learning.
Oct 2021 – Feb 2024
Nordling Lab, National Cheng Kung University · Tainan, Taiwan
Researched machine learning and deep neural networks for face alignment and remote photoplethysmography (rPPG), measuring heart rate from facial video, in Python.
Oct 2018 – Oct 2021
Skyfi Labs · Bangalore, India
Started as an R&D engineer building automation projects and mentoring students, then led the robotics R&D team and built the processes behind R&D, customer experience, sales, marketing, and inventory.
I'm a robotics engineer with over five years of R&D experience, currently based in Tainan, Taiwan. I work at the meeting point of hardware and AI: mechanical and electrical systems, Python and C#, ROS 2, and deep learning models that see and decide.
Most recently I built software to automate factory assembly lines: a single interface to drive five brands of industrial robots, and an autonomous pick-and-place robot that combines a mobile base, a collaborative arm, and a depth camera.
Before that I did research on computer vision for non-contact heart-rate measurement, and spent three years leading a robotics R&D team at an ed-tech company, where I taught robotics to thousands of students and mentored a community of young roboticists.
I was born in Odisha, India. My parents are teachers and my brother is an architect.
