I'm Zehao Li, an M.S. student in Mechatronics, Robotics and Automation Engineering at NYU (GPA 3.89/4.0), with a B.Eng. in Mechanical Engineering from Tongji University.
I like building machines end to end: I've machined gearboxes for competition robots, simulated humanoid workspaces at an industrial robotics lab, and trained RL agents to open drawers. Three seasons with Tongji's Superpower RoboMaster team — the last two leading the sentry mechanical group and a 20-person design team — taught me to design for the version after this one: everything I ship gets measured, broken, and rebuilt better.
