hybrid Light Painting Robot A 4-DOF robotic arm that creates light paintings through long-exposure photography — designed and built for UCLA MECH&AE C163A/C263A Kinematics of Robotic Systems. View project

hybrid SandArt Robot A 3D-printable sand-painting robot arm derived from Dummy-Robot, with redesigned mechanics, custom STM32 motor-control PCBs, and biomimetic sprinkler and scraper end-effectors. View project hybrid Electronbot A redesign of the open-source ElectronBot desktop companion — a 6-DOF robot with camera, gyro, and gesture sensing, driven by custom STM32 PCBs and firmware. View project

hybrid Magic Conference Built in a 24-hour MakeNTU hackathon — a “Magic Hand” and “Magic Cube” that bring gesture control to remote conferencing through combined hardware and vision software. View project hardware 3D Printer V-CORE 3 A from-scratch build of the open-source RatRig V-CORE 3 — CoreXY motion, custom wiring, and tuning for fast, high-quality prints. View project hybrid Sushirobot TM5-900 An itamae robot that uses a TM5-900 arm and computer vision to shape nigiri and tekkamaki, with custom grippers inspired by how sushi chefs work. View project

software Autonomous Car CV Visual localization for self-driving — reconstructs a 3D point cloud of road markers from four synchronized car cameras using a pinhole model. 6th of 18 in the CV course. View project hybrid Holocubic 3D Hologram An ESP32-based recreation of HoloCubic — a tiny desktop cube that shows a Pepper’s-ghost style 3D hologram, with custom firmware. View project hybrid Inverted Pendulum The capstone of a control theory course — stabilizing a classic inverted pendulum with controllers designed from Bode, Nyquist, and root-locus analysis. View project hybrid Light Dance 2022 A sci-fi sequel to NTUEE’s wearable light show — LED- and fiber-lit costumes choreographed in sync with the dancers. View project hybrid Lightener Smart Light A MakeNTU 2022 project — a smart light built on STM32 and ESP32 that adapts to its surroundings. View project hybrid Maxie Bed Smart Bed A networking-and-multimedia-lab smart bed that actually gets you up — using ESP32 and computer vision to make sure sleepers wake on time. View project hybrid Mushroom Monitor A one-week DIY grow monitor for a hands-on farming course — ESP32 sensors logging plant conditions to a Streamlit dashboard. View project

hybrid Light Dance 2021 A suit-men-versus-ninjas stage show fusing modern dance with electronics — LEDs and optical fiber sewn onto costumes and lit in time with the choreography. View project hybrid Magic Glove A digital-circuit-lab glove that recognizes sign language, pairing an FPGA implementation with a CNN to translate hand gestures into text. View project hardware Flyback Converter A flyback switching power supply designed and laid out in the EE lab, exploring SMD and DIP packaging and layout techniques for stable power and low noise. View project software NTU Food Map The Web Programming final — a React and Next.js map of NTU’s eateries backed by MongoDB, built to help students find their next meal on campus. View project hardware Temperaturing Hat A MakeNTU 2021 wearable — an Arduino-driven hat that senses and displays temperature. View project hybrid VR Quidditch Game A real-life Quidditch built in Unity VR with Arduino-instrumented props — third place in the VR/AR group at the National College Innovation & Creation Competition. View project

hybrid Autonomous Vehicle An Arduino line-tracking car built with laser-cut framing and hand-soldered circuits, tuned over four weeks to take first place in the EECS design midterm race. View project software Deadline C++ Game A street-fighter-style C++ game about EE students battling endless deadlines, with multiple maps, characters, and hand-drawn frame-by-frame artwork.
