Responsibilities include:

• Developed a robotic visuo-haptic platform for remote medical palpation; achieved 75% tumor diagnostic accuracy in 18 participants, proving passive haptic feedback alone sufficed for size perception (Published).
• Engineered a wearable VR haptic glove with Unity-integrated force feedback; 40-subject study showed 25% tactile acuity gain via mimicking motions, validating proprioception’s role in VR interaction (in Progress).
• Develop low-cost, open-source soft haptic display toolkits (e.g., soft tactile displays) to democratize access to high-fidelity tactile interfaces (Published).

Responsibilities include:

• Designed MRI-compatible pneumatic tactile actuator (PIC32/custom PCB board) delivering 1.57N–11.60N constant-force; fMRI validation with 6 subjects mapped neural activity to primary/secondary somatosensory cortices and premotor regions.

Responsibilities include:

• Led a 4-member team to deploy an autonomous ground vehicle with visual SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) and ROS 2 Galactic navigation.

Responsibilities include:

• Integrated Intel T265 tracking cameras and embedded computers across three omnidirectional robots, implementing AprilTag detection in ROS/OpenCV.
• Developed a C++/OpenCV pipeline to calibrate and undistort dual fisheye lenses and generated 3D point clouds for disparity maps in ROS Noetic to enable real-time obstacle avoidance for mobile robots.
• Implemented formation control and leader-follower algorithms for swarm control.
