About Roy
I’m a robotics-focused software engineer and systems builder from Taiwan. My work spans software, hardware, AI, and robotics. Rather than stopping when a model runs, I care about turning it into a testable, observable system that can operate safely in the real world.
Current Focus
My current focus is robotics, embodied AI, and real-world systems. Through PawAI, XLeRobot / SO-101, AmazingHand, and Open Duck Mini, I’m learning to connect perception, ROS2, edge computing, hardware integration, safety rules, and experiment logs into workflows that can be validated repeatedly.
How I Got Here
I started by teaching myself React and building full-stack and AI software projects. That gave me a foundation in product development and software engineering before PawAI pulled me into robotics, where sensors, compute limits, communication, physical safety, and field debugging all meet.
Why Robotics
PawAI exposed me to cross-layer systems problems: sensors and ROS2, Jetson resource limits, safety gates between an LLM and physical control, fallback behavior when a demo fails, and debugging with incomplete observability. My software background helps me turn those problems into interfaces, state models, tests, and tools—and that is why I want to keep working in robotics.
What I’m Looking For
I’m looking for internships in robotics, embodied AI, or real-world AI systems, especially roles involving software–hardware integration, perception, robot runtimes, developer tooling, and experiment logging.
